• Partner with executive and engineering leadership to codify critical business processes into self-measuring, scalable, and operationally consistent platforms, drastically reducing manual toil.
• Direct the integration strategy for key technologies, including common AI schedulers (e.g., Kubernetes, Slurm) and innovative observability systems (e.g., Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana).

Requirements:

• 16+ years of progressive industry experience
• Master's or Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience defining and shipping complex distributed systems.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in establishing, operating, and scaling services in a fast-paced, high-reliability environment.
• Thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments by rapidly testing ideas, iterating toward working solutions, and then hardening the winners into reliable, scalable systems.
• Outstanding proficiency in modern systems programming languages such as Go, Java, or Python.
• Proven track record of defining, owning, and evolving the architecture of high-scale distributed systems, including advanced patterns for APIs, control planes, and data pipelines.
• Deep understanding of global cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container ecosystems (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Demonstrated ability to drive technical strategy and influence outcomes across organizational boundaries.
• Outstanding ability to communicate complex technical concepts, drive organizational consensus, and mentor high-performing engineers.

Benefits:

• Widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
