Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

1d•$184,000 - $356,500

About The Position

NVIDIA’s private cloud team builds and operates infrastructure supporting software engineers across graphics, deep learning, autonomous vehicles, and Omniverse. The platform spans thousands of servers, processes millions of automated jobs each day, and manages petabytes of storage. The Senior Software Engineer will help solve distributed systems challenges, develop agentic infrastructure workflows, and improve the reliability and efficiency of services that accelerate engineering across NVIDIA. The role involves designing, building, and operating scalable cloud services for job execution, resource management, and storage. It also addresses infrastructure challenges involving Kubernetes, job scheduling, multi-region services, and automated recovery; develops agentic workflows to streamline operations; and improves observability, monitoring, and remediation. The engineer partners with engineering teams to deliver solutions from concept through production and drives capacity planning, performance optimization, and production readiness as the platform grows.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
8+ years of infrastructure development experience, including delivering scalable cloud solutions from concept to production.
Strong object-oriented programming skills in Java or Go.
Background in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics, with the ability to apply these techniques to infrastructure.
Ability to diagnose complex distributed systems issues and drive root-cause resolution.
Effective collaboration across engineering teams and time zones, with ownership of customer needs and production outcomes.
