System Software Engineer - Infrastructure

Role overview

System Software Engineer - Infrastructure at NVIDIA

Build, supervise, and improve the core infrastructure our firmware teams run on: build systems, regression farms, CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and the frameworks and web services that sit on top of them

Responsibilities

• Debug and resolve issues across hardware, software, infrastructure, and team processes - solving not just the present problem, but for that entire class of issue in the future
• Invent and build AI-powered workflows that scale to multiply your own, your team's, or the whole company's output
• Learn, document, and automate processes, services, and tooling for teams via many internal-facing and external-facing projects
• Seek out, identify and eradicate toil company-wide by growing your ideas for improvements from a proof-of-concept to fully shipped and scalable solutions
• What we need to see:
• BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience) and 5+ years of software, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE engineering
• Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD and test automation: architecting and debugging pipelines, working inside the frameworks that orchestrate the tests (pytest or equivalent)
• History in, or curiosity about device BIOS, firmware, or other low-level embedded software, and interest in building tooling for the engineers who write it
• Solid understanding of the services and data behind infrastructure: web services, REST APIs, relational databases and schema design (SQL, PostgreSQL)
• Scalability thinking
• Strong Python and comfort working in Linux shell environments
• Strong communication skills: ability to articulate the sharp questions, write clear requirements, review critically, and explain trade-offs
• Exceptional interpersonal and empathy skills, and the curiosity to match as you’ll work closely with both hardware and software engineers to design, develop, and debug process and tooling enhancements
• Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• Sense of humor heavily encouraged, but not required
• A side project, open source contribution, or internal tool you built because something annoyed you enough
• Track record of writing clear technical proposals, design docs, or architecture decisions that others have acted on independently
• Experience with containers, orchestration, or infrastructure-as-code tooling (K8s)
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools: knowing what's trustworthy, when to be diligent, and when to throw away the output
• Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
