This role focuses on enhancing the scalability, reliability, and security of Linux systems while collaborating with engineering teams to deliver impactful infrastructure capabilities. You will be immersed in a diverse and innovative environment, contributing to next-generation AI services. If you enjoy solving complex Linux challenges and automating infrastructure, this position is ideal for you.

Requirements

  • 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 experience with a configuration management platform such as Chef or Ansible.
  • Experience using Terraform to provision infrastructure.
  • Experience with AI-native development and coding agents to enhance developer productivity.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach.

Responsibilities

  • Lead Linux and cloud infrastructure initiatives, including architecture, provisioning, configuration, deployment, and ongoing operations.
  • Build automation using shell scripting, configuration management, and infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Develop and maintain automated workflows for Linux provisioning, patching, configuration, security hardening, and lifecycle management.
  • Deploy and operate cloud infrastructure while integrating cloud services with on-premises environments.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams across NVIDIA to deliver infrastructure capabilities that support meaningful business outcomes.
  • Continuously improve the reliability, security, maintainability, and operational standards of the platform.

  • 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.
