Director, Software Engineering - DGX Cloud Infrastructure

NVIDIA is seeking a strategic and technically grounded Director of Engineering to lead a high-impact organization at the intersection of core compute cloud infrastructure for AI factories. This organization is a key pillar in NVIDIA’s DGX Cloud ecosystem, building shared automation and reliability tooling that enables a sizable portion of our GPU-accelerated compute fleet.

You will further develop and scale an organization of engineers focused on running production software for large scale GPU-accelerated infrastructure. This organization partners closely with storage, networking, and several other teams across NVIDIA. You will be the engineering leader responsible for interfacing with some of our NVIDIA Cloud Partners to continuously meet our production excellence goals.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Build and grow a team of software engineers and leaders focused on automating day 0, 1, and 2 for large-scale GPU clusters running on bare metal and public clouds with service levels of various kinds.

Lead the design and continuous delivery of shared automation frameworks aligned with SLOs and error budgets.

Liaise with some of our NVIDIA Cloud Partners to ensure aligned priorities and sustained production excellence.

Drive clarity and execution through high ambiguity, translating broad, and ever evolving objectives into iterative delivery milestones.

Enable internal teams by reducing operational friction and improving automation coverage across the stack.

What We Need To See:

Proven experience leading software engineering teams (incl. SRE and/or DevOps) responsible for infrastructure automation, and distributed systems.

Demonstrated ability to build software engineering organizations, driving continuous incremental execution across teams, and operate effectively in highly ambiguous environments with ever evolving objectives.

Hands-on experience designing, running, or automating cloud infrastructure atop bare metal platforms and/or VMs.

Experience deploying cloud-native services on public clouds.

Track record of representing your company or division in external partnerships with public clouds, infrastructure vendors, and to internal partner teams.

Strong foundation in incremental delivery, and technical program execution.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence across levels and disciplines.

Bachelor of Science (or equivalent experience) or Master of Science degree in Computer Science or related field, with a minimum of 10+ overall years of experience developing and leading cloud infrastructure teams, and 5+ yrs of management experience

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Relevant experience developing organizations at public cloud companies. Background leading teams running large-scale GPU clusters. Familiarity with technologies like Linux, NVIDIA BCM, Slurm, Infiniband, Kubernetes, Slurm, distributed storage, or BlueField DPUs.

Experience developing both internal-facing platform teams and customer-facing infrastructure as a service ones.

Track record of collaboration with security, or compliance teams including in regulated environments. Familiarity with AI/ML platform workloads and their reliability or performance characteristics.
