Senior Systems Software Engineer, Developer Productivity and Cloud Automation - GeForce NOW

NVIDIA Corporation; Pune District; On-site; INR 4,000,000 - 6,500,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a senior Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps engineer to design and operate scalable backend services powering our deployment platform. You will own multi-cloud, on-premises and hybrid setups, building CRDs, operators and robust control planes in Go/Python.

In this role, you’ll extend GitOps pipelines, implement security hardening, and shape the platform roadmap end-to-end while collaborating with cross-functional teams across Nvidia data centers and cloud environments.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience with 12+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps.
• Expert Kubernetes: CRDs, operators, multi-cluster management, and security hardening (CIS, PCI/SOC 2).
• Proficiency in Flux CD or Argo CD, GitLab CI, and Jenkins; Go or Python for control plane development.
• Experience handling Vault, Terraform, Ansible, and Helm in both on-premises and cloud environments.
• Experience in developing and scaling RESTful, gRPC, MCP APIs and backend services.
• Experience running hybrid multi-cloud and bare-metal at production scale, and owning a platform roadmap end-to-end.

Responsibilities

• Build and develop backend microservices and REST/gRPC/MCP APIs powering the deployment platform, zone reservation/lease system, and developer self-service tooling.
• Extend the platform with dynamic delivery, automatic rollback, drift detection, and automated zone bootstrapping.
• Build and stabilize prod-like staging environments/zones so teams catch regressions early.
• Develop and sustain GitOps pipelines (Flux CD, Argo CD) across on-premises and Nvidia GFN Cloud/AWS/Azure/GCP.
• Develop Kubernetes CRDs and operators in Go for scheduling, auto-scaling, and compliance across data centres.
• Build backend integrations and control-plane services connecting CI/CD, observability, and automation systems into a unified platform experience.
• Automate dedicated hardware and multiple cloud platform configurations using Terraform, Ansible, and Vault.
• Implement monitoring solutions including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and ELK, paired with SLO/alerting for early detection.
• Integrate automation tools - runbooks, StackStorm bots, anomaly-triggered remediation, and Slack self-service release bots.

Job description

GeForce NOW is NVIDIA's Cloud Gaming service, streaming games at the highest quality to any and every user, regardless of their device type and capabilities - low-end PCs, Macs, TV or mobile devices. Using the most sophisticated GPUs and NVIDIA proprietary software, GeForce NOW transforms the gaming experience with always up-to-date games on always the latest hardware, a streaming experience rivaling that of a local PC, and near-instant launch - just click and play! For more details, see http://www.geforce.com/geforce-now . Our mission empowers every GeForce NOW engineer to deliver confidently by removing obstacles, catching issues early, and turning deployments into a strength rather than a liability. We handle pipelines using GitLab's CI platform and Jenkins, along with Flux CD and Argo CD rollouts, StackStorm event-driven automation, HashiCorp Vault for credential storage, and automation across multi-cloud environments. This is the Kubernetes-native deployment platform paired with its automation system and the backend services and APIs that support it. We deliver zero-downtime global rollouts with automatic drift detection. Our reliable staging environments replicate production accurately. We provide cloud automation for bare-metal and multi-cloud environments. If a GFN service ships, runs, or self-heals, you build the infrastructure behind it.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build and develop backend microservices and REST/gRPC/MCP APIs that power the deployment platform, zone reservation/lease system, and developer self-service tooling
• Extend the platform with dynamic delivery, automatic rollback, drift detection, and automated zone bootstrapping
• Build and stabilize prod-like staging environments/zones so teams catch regressions early
• Develop and sustain GitOps pipelines (Flux CD, Argo CD) across on-premises and Nvidia GFN Cloud/AWS/Azure/GCP
• Develop Kubernetes CRDs and operators in Go for scheduling, auto-scaling, and compliance across data centres
• Build backend integrations and control-plane services connecting CI/CD, observability, and automation systems into a unified platform experience
• Automate dedicated hardware and multiple cloud platform configurations using Terraform, Ansible, and Vault
• Implement monitoring solutions including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and ELK, paired with SLO/alerting for early detection
• Integrate automation tools - runbooks, StackStorm bots, anomaly-triggered remediation, and Slack self-service release bots

What We Need to See:

BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience with 12+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps, with deep expertise in Kubernetes, GitOps (or equivalent), and production-grade cloud-native CI/CD pipelines Expert Kubernetes: CRDs, operators, multi-cluster management, and security hardening (CIS, PCI/SOC 2) Proficiency in Flux CD or Argo CD, GitLab CI, and Jenkins; Go or Python for control plane development Experience handling Vault, Terraform, Ansible, and Helm in both on-premises and cloud environments Experience in developing and scaling RESTful, gRPC, MCP APIs and backend services. Experience running hybrid multi-cloud and bare-metal at production scale, and owning a platform roadmap end-to-end.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

• Backstage or similar internal developer portals for self-service tooling
• Comprehensive expertise covering backend services as well as platform and infrastructure engineering
• Daily use of AI-assisted tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) - we use these daily
• Hybrid infrastructure spanning on-premises GPU clusters and public cloud
