Senior Software Engineer - AI Research Clusters

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA +5 · Remote

Senior Software Engineer to build and maintain GPU clusters for internal AI researchers, focusing on reliability, performance, and self-service. The role involves engineering solutions for cluster validation, monitoring, and operation, with an emphasis on AIOps and Agentic AI to reduce operational toil.

What you'd actually do

  1. propose and implement engineering solutions to ensure delivery of functional, reliable, secure, and performance-optimal GPU clusters to internal researchers
  2. design, develop and maintain engineering solutions to solve those pain points systematically
  3. research in traditional AIOps and the emerging Agentic AI, and leverage it to further reduce the operation toil
  4. participate in on-call support for systems, platforms built and owned by the team
