It's an exciting time to join the NVIDIA Cloud Native Engineering (NVCNE) group’s backend software team! As a Cloud Platform Software Engineer, you will work alongside architects, designers, frontend engineers, SREs and others to deliver a software platform that supports the lifecycle of Artificial Intelligence (AI) super compute infrastructure on Kubernetes. Together we will enable AI services across the cloud.
 

The engineer will write software that aligns with the broad architectural vision for the NVIDIA Cloud Platform, working with architects to develop a robust, scalable system. The engineer owns their code - from development to commit to test to production. They will be responsible for supporting SRE teams with development support and collaboration with internal product teams on sophisticated distributed systems problems at scale. This engineer will be encouraged to foster NVIDIA’s approach to Cloud Native development and especially Kubernetes.

What you will be doing:

• Develop software systems to support large scale deployments of cloud infrastructure

• Design, develop and distribute APIs to support Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation and deployment workflows.

• Responsible for contributing to multiple source code projects to fulfill NVIDIA requirements with software services

• Work and collaborate with engineering managers, architects, designers, and frontend engineers to deliver high quality software

• Automate the validation of software solutions with unit and integration tests

• Innovate with other engineers on proposed designs and product direction

• Openly share successes and failures in a no blame environment

What we need to see:

• BS in Computer Science, Information Systems, Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) and at least 12 years of overall experience

• 5-7 years of proven experience in large scale software development

• Experience building and delivering services on Kubernetes

• Proficiency with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI).

• Collaborated with teams to write software to support cloud services at scale

• Ability to troubleshoot issues across multiple layers: infrastructure, Kubernetes, application runtime.

• Strong proficiency in Golang for building Kubernetes operators, controllers, and custom tooling.

• Experience designing and managing Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).

• Knowledge of managed Kubernetes services and scaling strategies across cloud and on-prem environments.

• Experience developing auto-scaling infrastructure components and incident response and root cause analysis.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with Kubernetes Cluster API, Terraform, CSP API and other infrastructure tooling

• Background with using and contributing to open-source projects

• Solid experience with Kustomize, or other Kubernetes packaging tools.

• Capable of refactoring software to run in systems such as Kubernetes

• Ability to discuss and work with CSI, CNI, and CRI as well as familiarity with the CNCF and the tooling across the ecosystem
