NVIDIA is looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our team in Santa Clara, CA. This role combines real-time incident leadership with hands-on engineering, focused on improving how we detect, respond to, and prevent issues at scale. You will operate as an Incident Commander during critical events while building the systems, automation, and observability that reduce operational toil and improve reliability over time.
What you'll be doing:
- Lead major incidents end to end, driving triage, cross-team coordination, decision making, and executive communication
- Build and implement automation for incident detection, triage, communication, and remediation
- Improve observability and signal quality to enable earlier detection and reduce reliance on user-reported issues
- Drive root cause analysis and translate learnings into systemic fixes, automation, and prevention mechanisms
- Leverage AI and data-driven techniques to enhance incident triage, summarization, and decision support
What we need to see:
- 8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Production Engineering, or Incident Management roles
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Proven experience acting as an Incident Commander or leading major incident response in complex environments
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, monitoring, and reliability engineering principles
- Proficiency in programming or scripting (e.g., Python, Java, C++) to build automation and tooling
- Experience or familiarity with AI/ML concepts (e.g., LLMs, anomaly detection, or data-driven operations) applied to operational workflows
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Experience building incident management or automation platforms (chatops, workflow orchestration, alert intelligence)
- Hands-on experience applying AI to operations, such as intelligent triage, RCA generation, or signal correlation
- Track record of reducing MTTD and MTTR through engineering and automation
- Ability to balance real-time incident leadership with building scalable, long-term reliability solutions
