Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the DriveOS infrastructure and tooling team in Santa Clara. You will design highly available automation systems, developer tooling, and AI-enabled dashboards to improve build quality and release reliability for automotive platforms.

You will shape infrastructure roadmaps, integrate AI-native pipelines, and govern AI-generated artifacts within safety-certified workflows, using Python, CI/CD, and IaC in a global engineering environment.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent experience, with 8+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or software tooling.
• Strong proficiency in Python and understanding of tooling architecture and design patterns.
• Experience managing enterprise-scale CI/CD environments (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
• Experience building production-grade, full-stack systems — backend microservices (Python, Node.js, Go), RESTful and GraphQL APIs, relational and NoSQL datastores, and modern web interfaces (React, Next.js, or TypeScript).

Responsibilities

• Design and implement highly available automation systems, developer tooling, and intelligent dashboards that improve and monitor the quality of DriveOS builds and releases.
• Partner with teams across the organization to shape infrastructure roadmaps and consolidate tooling initiatives.
• Architect AI-native pipelines that integrate LLM-based agents, RAG systems, and multi-agent orchestration into core engineering workflows.
• Translate multi-functional collaborator requirements into process-automation solutions that operate in environments aligned with automotive standards (ISO 26262, ISO 21434) and quality models (ISO 25010).
• Build integrated data pipelines that aggregate telemetry from global systems and surface executive-level insights through advanced visualization and predictive quality metrics.
• Evaluate and operationalize emerging AI capabilities - including code-generation copilots, agentic coding assistants, and automated documentation tools.
• Help define and deploy governance policies for AI-assisted tooling outputs, ensuring traceability, auditability, and compliance when AI-generated artifacts feed into safety-certified processes.
• Raise the standard for tooling quality and architectural guidelines. Coach and support engineers at all levels, fostering a culture of technical growth.
