Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join the DGX Cloud team, focusing on building foundational systems for high-performance GPU infrastructure. This role involves crafting scalable automation solutions and integrating diverse systems to enhance global cloud operations. The engineer will lead technical initiatives, mentor senior engineers, and ensure a strong customer experience. This position is pivotal in shaping the future of AI and cloud computing.

Requirements

  • 16+ years of progressive industry experience

  • Deep, hands-on expertise in establishing, operating, and scaling services in a fast-paced, high-reliability environment
  • Outstanding proficiency in modern systems programming languages such as Go, Java, or Python
  • Deep understanding of global cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container ecosystems (Docker, Kubernetes)

Responsibilities

  • Lead the build and development of next-generation APIs, state management, and workflow orchestration systems that automate fleet lifecycle operations at a massive scale
  • Drive technical alignment across dependent systems and partner teams to ensure cohesive integration, clear interfaces, and reliable end-to-end workflows
  • Act as a force-multiplier by coaching, mentoring, and encouraging senior engineers, elevating the technical standards and guidelines across the organization
  • Maintain an incredible focus on the customer experience and product requirements, translating deep technical insight into high-impact business solutions
  • Direct the integration strategy for key technologies, including common AI schedulers and innovative observability 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.
