NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for its CSP Engagements team to develop and improve the cloud-native stack for AI/ML datacenter products. The role focuses on defining customer workflows, prototyping Kubernetes and Slurm enhancements, debugging complex cluster issues, and collaborating with customers and internal teams on architecture and integrated solutions.
Responsibilities
- Perform deep-dive debugging of multi-rack, multi-tenant clusters: scheduler behavior, container runtime issues, device-plugin crashes, RDMA/IB fabric anomalies, etc
- Gather customer requirements and prototype feature extensions for Kubernetes operators, Slurm plugins, and custom micro-services that expose new GPU capabilities
- Drive joint architecture reviews and “whiteboard” sessions with CSP and internal platform teams; convert findings into RFCs and upstream pull requests
- Create reproducible testbeds (Helm/Ansible/Terraform) that mirror customer environments; automate validation and benchmark suites

- Hands-on experience integrating next-gen GPUs (Blackwell/GB200/GB300) or comparable accelerators into containerized clusters
- Proven track record debugging large-scale, cloud-native stacks across networking (RDMA/RoCE), storage, and control planes
- Customer-facing engineering or solutions-architect background: requirements gathering, PoC ownership, roadmap influence
- Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Tekton), observability (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), and infrastructure-as-code
- Excellent communication-able to switch between deep technical detail and high-level business impact
- 10+ years of professional software development experience in distributed systems (Go, Rust, C/C++ or Python for tooling)
- BS or MS (or equivalent experience) in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
- Upstream contributions to Kubernetes, Slurm, Volcano, or similar projects
