Job description

Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPUs act as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent.

As an NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. NVIDIA is widely recognized as one of the most desirable employers, with some of the most versatile people in the world working for us. If you're passionate about building scalable, efficient backend systems to power cloud operations, we invite you to join our team.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design and develop Go backend services, REST APIs, and data models for GPU Health and Fleet Intelligence.
• Build customer-facing and agent-facing APIs for compute zones, node groups, nodes, alerts, events, metrics, inventory, attestation, retention policies, and reports.
• Develop high-volume ingestion and persistence paths for in-band agents and out-of-band collectors.
• Work with Aurora PostgreSQL, Kafka/MSK, S3, SQS, Prometheus/AMP, and OpenTelemetry-based observability.
• Build and operate scheduled backend services for liveness tracking, alerting, rollups, cleanup, notification delivery, attestation, and XID analysis.
• Optimize database schemas, partitioned time-series storage, query performance, CTE-heavy queries, and connection pooling for reliable service behavior.
• Collaborate with agent, infrastructure, SRE, UI, and cloud operations teams to turn operational workflows into scalable backend systems.
• Improve service reliability, security, observability, testing, and deployment quality across Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and cloud environments.

What We Need To See:

• 5+ years of industry software engineering experience with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Strong Go backend development experience.
• Experience building REST APIs and production services using frameworks such as Gin or similar.
• Strong PostgreSQL experience, including schema design, query tuning, transactions, migrations, and operational data modeling.
• Experience with distributed systems, event pipelines, telemetry ingestion, or operational analytics.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm.
• Strong debugging skills across APIs, databases, cloud services, and production systems.
• Familiarity with authentication and authorization patterns such as JWT, service account keys, trusted-edge proxies, or customer-scoped APIs.
• Experience with Linux-based development and production environments.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Background with telemetry, monitoring, observability, health, or fleet-management platforms.
• Experience with AWS services such as MSK, Aurora, S3, SQS, AMP, or CloudWatch.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, LightStep, Grafana, or production tracing/metrics systems.
• Background with NVIDIA GPUs, DGX systems, DCGM, XID analysis, attestation, or AI datacenter operations.
• Experience designing APIs and storage systems that support real-time operational workflows at fleet scale.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.
