Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking an automation engineer to own a config-as-code foundation for its EDA compute farm, migrating from partial systems and drift. You will design deployment pipelines, codify LSF configurations, and build templates that capture know-how in the repository instead of individual expertise.

Ideal candidates have 6+ years in infrastructure engineering, strong GitOps practices, and proficiency in Go, Python and shell, with hands-on experience automating stateful infrastructure.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years in infrastructure engineering with strong config management depth — Ansible, Salt, Puppet, Chef, or comparable.
• Real experience with GitOps practice at scale: review workflow, environment promotion, drift detection, and safe rollback.
• Proficiency in Go, Python and shell, and comfort building the tooling rather than only using it.
• Experience automating stateful, long-lived infrastructure where you cannot simply destroy and recreate.

Responsibilities

• Designing and owning the configuration schema for LSF cell deployment, so that a policy change is written once, reviewed, tested, and applied identically everywhere it belongs.
• Building the deployment pipeline that takes scheduler configuration from merge to production across a federated estate, including staged rollout and rollback.
• Eliminating configuration drift across cells, and building the tooling that keeps it eliminated.
• Standing up the regression suite that lets us upgrade LSF on a schedule rather than on a dare.
• Working alongside our LSF internals engineer to encode hard-won scheduler knowledge into templates and policy.
