Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Distinguished Engineer to lead the storage strategy for AI Cloud across the Neocloud Provider and Cloud Service Provider ecosystem. This role involves directing the architecture of high-performance storage systems at exabyte scale, ensuring efficient GPU utilization for AI workloads. The engineer will collaborate with various teams, including site reliability, operations, and external partners, to develop a robust storage framework. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI storage technology at NVIDIA.

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
  • A minimum of 18+ years of practical engineering experience in storage technology.
  • Extensive involvement with high-performance parallel file systems handling data at multi-petabyte scale.
  • Wide-ranging expertise in object storage and block storage technologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to set technical strategy across business units and partner organizations.
  • Strong proficiency in at least one systems language and proficiency in Python.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the multi-year technical plan for AI Cloud Storage expansion across NCPs.
  • Serve as the chief storage architect with deep hands-on involvement.
  • Define the standard for 'production-ready' in NCP storage, including durability and availability SLOs.
  • Develop and guide the architectural direction by working closely with collaborators.
  • Establish and guide an open-source strategy that broadens the AI storage ecosystem.
  • Lead an engineering culture centered on AI tools and modern coding practices.
  • Mentor and develop senior, principal, and distinguished engineers across the storage organization.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
