Description
Join NVIDIA, where we're powering the future of AI and computing! As a Principal Architect on our powerful team in Santa Clara, CA, you will manage the architecture of our critical release management platform. This role offers a groundbreaking chance to define the technical vision for our modern infrastructure while working with hardworking and versatile professionals in the industry.
You will be responsible for managing the architecture of a full-stack release management platform, advancing it to accommodate multi-tenant, multi-environment systems across multiple hardware platforms. You will craft hierarchical domain models and state machines that manage complex lifecycles and multi-axis promotion flows. You will also architect robust ingestion and reconciliation pipelines, ensuring data fidelity and compliance across various representations.
In addition, you will define and integrate a comprehensive validation, promotion, and gating model with our automated sanity stages and customer-release pipelines. You will establish a strict separation between authoring and production environments, ensuring data integrity and sanitization. You will set standards for API build, authentication, RBAC, audit logging, and observability across the platform.
You will lead frontend architecture for a sophisticated authoring and review experience, handling complex tabular editing and bulk operations. You will drive platform onboarding workflows, defining consistent naming schemes, validation rules, and notification topologies for new hardware platforms.
You will mentor engineers, conduct architecture reviews, and raise the technical bar across multiple engineering domains. You will partner with product, TPM, release managers, and other collaborators to align on roadmaps, capacity, and operational ownership.
You will define and manage deployment, rollout, and incident-response models, including database migration strategies and clear on-call runbooks. You will continuously evaluate and incorporate emerging tools, frameworks, and patterns to improve the platform's capabilities.
