Job description

The Senior Systems Software Engineer role at NVIDIA focuses on building and maintaining large-scale production systems with high efficiency and availability. This position requires a blend of software and systems engineering practices to ensure maximum reliability and uptime of GPU cloud services. The engineer will engage in the entire lifecycle of services, from design to deployment and refinement, while promoting automation and performance tuning. A culture of diversity and collaboration is emphasized, fostering an environment for continuous learning and improvement.

Requirements

  • BS degree in Computer Science or a related technical field involving coding, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience with infrastructure automation and distributed systems design.
  • 5+ years of experience delivering foundational infrastructure and observability platforms.
  • Experience in one or more programming languages such as Python, Go, Perl, or Ruby.
  • In-depth knowledge of Linux, Networking, and Containers.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and support operational and reliability aspects of a large-scale Observability & Telemetry collection platform.
  • Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services from inception and design through deployment, operation, and refinement.
  • Support services before they go live through system design consulting and developing software tools.
  • Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health.
  • Scale systems sustainably through automation and push for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
  • Practice sustainable incident response and conduct blameless postmortems.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to support production systems.

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.
