Principal Systems Software Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure and Development

We are looking for a principal systems software engineer to lead the technical direction of cloud infrastructure powered by open-source technology such as OpenStack and Kubernetes. As NVIDIA expands its software platform from graphics, gaming, and artificial intelligence to healthcare, Omniverse, and autonomous vehicles, its demand for scalable and heterogeneous distributed systems infrastructure grows. We are passionate about the opportunity to shape the future of the NVIDIA software platform! We want to develop infrastructure that scales to run millions of requests and jobs on thousands of servers efficiently, reliably, and securely. We also want to support heterogeneous servers with different combinations of operating systems (e.g., Windows, Linux, Android), hardware platforms (e.g., x86, ARM), and accelerators (e.g., GPU, Tegra).

What you will be doing:

• Collaborate effectively with peers and partners to find opportunities and distill requirements, propose technical strategy and architecture, and tackle exciting technical problems.
• Establish, recommend, and model best practices of distributed systems for reliability, performance, monitoring, security, compliance, interoperability, usability, correctness, consistency, simplicity, etc.
• Mentor engineers across teams and locations.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 15 years of experience with software engineering in one or more programming languages, and with data structures/algorithms.
• 10 years of experience designing, testing, launching, and maintaining distributed systems.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• MS or PhD in Computer Science or an equivalent technical field.
• 8 years of experience setting strategy and direction as a technical leader.
• 5 years of experience with cloud infrastructure technologies such as Kubernetes, OpenStack, etc.
