Job description

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help drive the automation, design, and operation of the Linux platform that powers the physical Linux client experience all the way up to our large scale AI agent compute platform. You will support Linux environments across physical systems, virtual machines, and public cloud infrastructure while improving their scalability, reliability, and security. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys automating infrastructure, solving challenging Linux problems, and building secure and reliable platforms for next-generation agentic services!

What you will be doing:

  • Leading Linux and cloud infrastructure initiatives, including architecture, provisioning, configuration, deployment, and ongoing operations.

  • Building automation using shell scripting, configuration management, and infrastructure-as-code tools.

  • Developing and maintaining automated workflows for Linux provisioning, patching, configuration, security hardening, and lifecycle management.

  • Deploying and operating cloud infrastructure and integrating cloud services with on-premises environments.

  • Collaborating with engineering teams across NVIDIA to deliver infrastructure capabilities that support meaningful business outcomes.

  • Continuously improving the reliability, security, maintainability, and operational standards of our platform.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field—or equivalent experience.

  • 8+ years of experience in Linux systems, infrastructure, platform, site reliability, or cloud engineering.

  • Deep hands-on experience administering, securing, and optimizing Linux environments.

  • Proven cloud architecture and engineering experience in AWS or Azure.

  • Strong shell scripting and automation skills, including a configuration management platform such as Chef or Ansible.

  • Experience using Terraform to provision infrastructure.

  • Experience with AI-native development and coding agents to multiply developer productivity.

  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Expertise in Go or Python

  • Experience using GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions to automate deployments.

  • Experience designing and operating hybrid-cloud or multi-cloud Linux environments.

  • Experience with container runtimes, Kubernetes, immutable infrastructure, or automated operating-system image pipelines.

  • Excited to contribute to a high-trust, collaborative culture while bringing a unique perspective to the team!

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and enjoy learning while having fun, then what are you waiting for? Apply today!
