Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Network Software Engineer for its Network Automation & Intelligence Platforms team. This role focuses on building and operating innovative network automation systems across various environments, including corporate offices and HPC data centers. The engineer will work with AI to enhance network automation and ensure reliable operations. This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with multiple teams and contribute to the future of AI computing.

Requirements

  • MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 12+ years of experience in network engineering or network software, with experience in both build and production operations.
  • Hands-on network automation experience, such as Python, Ansible, REST/gNMI/NETCONF APIs, and Git-based workflows.
  • Solid grounding in routing, switching, and network architecture, including BGP, OSPF, EVPN/VXLAN, and MLAG.
  • Experience with multi-vendor environments including Arista, Cisco, Cumulus/NVIDIA, and Palo Alto.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement network automation for new builds and bring-ups.
  • Support live networks with automated change execution, health checks, drift detection, and incident triage.
  • Contribute to the source of truth, CI/CD pipelines, orchestration, and observability integrations.
  • Build LLM- and agent-based network tooling for autonomous change execution.
  • Partner with network, compute, storage, and facilities teams to create reliable software.
  • Document, mentor, and enable other engineers to contribute to automation.

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.
