Job description

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. 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.

We are looking for a senior systems software engineer to advance the Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) infrastructure that powers many accelerated open-source software. We are passionate about the opportunity to shape the future of secure and scalable CI/CD infrastructure for many open-source AI and accelerated computing software on the NVIDIA platform!

What you will be doing:

  • Design, build, extend, test, deploy, and maintain a centralized CI/CD infrastructure for many open-source projects.

  • Collaborate effectively with peers and partners through brainstorming and review sessions to produce high-quality design, code, and documentation.

  • Review, recommend, and model guidelines of CI/CD for reliability, performance, monitoring, security, compliance, interoperability, usability, correctness, consistency, simplicity, etc.

  • Support other NVIDIA teams in using this foundational infrastructure.

  • Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack.

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to setting technical direction and standards for the infrastructure team.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience and 8 years of experience with software engineering in several programming languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Go), and with data structures/algorithms.

  • Experience with CI/CD technologies such as GitHub Actions and GitLab Runners.

  • Experience with open source software development (workflows, tools, guidelines).

  • Significant experience working with configuration management tools such as Ansible and Terraform.

  • Strong understanding and experience with Kubernetes administration and deployment.

  • Familiarity with security patterns, e.g., authentication protocols (e.g. OAuth 2.0, OIDC), authorization frameworks, and secret management (HashiCorp Vault).

  • Hands-on experience with virtualization tools including containers and virtual machines.

  • Solid understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, Load Balancing).

  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Expertise with Agentic AI frameworks, patterns, and tools.

  • Experience developing and operating centralized and large-scale automated build, test, and deployment platforms.

  • Familiarity with compliance and security requirements in cloud and on-prem environments.

  • Experience with NVIDIA platform (hardware and software).

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 18, 2026.
