We are looking for Senior Software Engineers to help build the automation, tooling, and operational systems that make GPU clusters reliable, scalable, and safe to run. This role is part of a production engineering team focused on Kubernetes-based infrastructure, GPU cluster operations, reliability, automation, GitOps, and Day 2 operability across DGX Cloud environments.

What you’ll be doing:

• Build and operate automation for large-scale GPU clusters across NVIDIA Cloud Partners (NCP) and on-prem environments.

• Develop tools and services for provisioning, validation, upgrades, monitoring, repair, and cluster lifecycle operations.

• Improve Day 0 / Day 1 / Day 2 workflows for cluster bringup, handoff, and production operations.

• Reduce manual production touches through APIs, GitOps, automation, and agent-assisted workflows.

• Participate in on-call, incident response, debugging, and durable follow-up work.

• Partner with platform, storage, networking, security, and workload teams to make infrastructure production-ready.

What we need to see:

• 8+ years of experience building or operating production infrastructure.

• Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or similar.

• Experience with Linux, Kubernetes, containers, cloud infrastructure, or infrastructure automation.

• Ability to troubleshoot distributed systems in production.

• Clear communication and ability to work across teams.

• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with GPU infrastructure, Kubernetes operators, GitOps, Terraform, ArgoCD, or fleet automation.

• Experience with SLOs, on-call, incident response, observability, and reliability practices.

• Exposure to BMaaS, VMaaS, managed Kubernetes, or multi-cloud infrastructure.
