Job description

NVIDIA is the kind of place where a junior's question can change the technology roadmap, and we want a Site Reliability Engineer who asks them. Consider the trade: your 4 years of Interpersonal Skills for $100,000 - $150,000, an internship schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
• Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Interpersonal Skills on-call at NVIDIA
• Scale NVIDIA's Stress Management services from Chula Vista pilot to CA-wide rollout
• Build Terraform dashboards so NVIDIA's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Backfill Terraform test coverage on the riskiest corners of NVIDIA's codebase
• Walk technology stakeholders through AWS tradeoffs in language NVIDIA execs grasp
• Reach into legacy Grafana modules and leave them cleaner than you found them

What You'll Bring

• Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Site Reliability Engineer position
• Real proficiency with Nginx, plus willingness to learn Pulumi fast
• Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a mid-level capacity
• Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
• Demonstrated knack for making the client-focused feel manageable
• Familiarity with NVIDIA-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them

Three things define NVIDIA: a Chula Vista address, a learning-obsessed culture, and a near-religious devotion to Interpersonal Skills. Trust, transparency, and steady momentum are the three things we protect above all else.

What sits behind the $100,000 - $150,000 offer is a NVIDIA culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.
