## Description

Join NVIDIA's Network Automation & Intelligence Platforms team as a Network Software Engineer, Automation & Intelligence. You'll build and operate innovative network automation systems across corporate offices, campuses, HPC data centers, contract manufacturing sites, and labs.

**Responsibilities:**

- Design and implement network automation for new builds and bring-ups, from zero-touch provisioning and config generation to validation and handoff to operations.

- 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 that automation depends on.

- Build LLM- and agent-based network tooling that moves from read-only investigation to autonomous, self-validating change execution.

- Partner with network, compute, storage, and facilities teams to turn operational difficulties into reliable, reusable software.

- Document, mentor, and enable other engineers to contribute to automation beyond the core team.

**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 (Arista, Cisco, Cumulus/NVIDIA, Palo Alto, and similar).

- Strong problem-solving abilities and a history of managing complex projects from start to finish.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience implementing LLM or agent-based tooling in operations with robust oversight.

- Familiarity with incident management and change platforms (BigPanda, ServiceNow) and source-of-truth tooling (Nautobot, NetBox).

- Background in cybersecurity and network security practices.

- Experience with large-scale GPU/AI fabrics, InfiniBand, RoCE, or other high-performance networks.

- Clear communication skills and a focus on maintaining an inclusive, collaborative team culture.

**Benefits:**

- Highly competitive salaries

- Comprehensive benefits package
