We're looking for a Senior SRE to own and scale the Kubernetes platform that assists NVIDIA's chip design (EDA) workloads. This is not a generic container-platform role.

Responsibilities

  • Own Kubernetes clusters end-to-end - plan, deliver, upgrade, day-2 operations, and decommission - across on-prem datacenters and managed cloud Kubernetes (e.g. EKS, GKE, RKE, Red Hat OpenShift, etc.).
  • Define and implement the multi-cluster lifecycle strategy: version skew policy, patch cadence, node image pipelines, controlled rollouts, and safe upgrade mechanics for clusters that can't simply be drained on demand.
  • Treat on-prem and CSP Kubernetes as one platform with consistent APIs, policy, and observability - not as two disconnected worlds.
  • Drive everything through Infrastructure-as-Code, GitOps, and declarative config; manual cluster changes should be an anomaly worth investigating.
  • Design for failure: explicit fault domains, blast-radius containment between clusters and tenants, progressive delivery, and disciplined change control.
  • Build end-to-end observability (metrics, logs, traces, events) and push toward data-driven and auto-healing operations that materially reduce human intervention.
  • Participate in on-call, lead incident response, drive root cause analysis, and publish high-quality RCAs that actually change the system.
  • Partner with EDA engineering, storage, and network teams to land changes cleanly in a fast-moving environment.
  • Engage and partner with data center operations to help forecast, design and implement the accurate on-prem and cloud deployments to meet architectural needs.
  • Interface directly with internal EDA tenants/engineering teams to design and implement operational improvements to increase productivity and provide faster and more reliable outcomes as well as partner with the infrastructure services team to help architect the supporting capabilities for intelligent workload routing,…
