NVIDIA is seeking a senior systems software engineer to help engineering teams run demanding build, simulation, and validation workloads efficiently and reliably. Our Workload Systems Engineering team connects customer workflows with the infrastructure that performs them.
Responsibilities
- Build shared self-service and validation mechanisms that let engineering teams configure and use supported infrastructure workflows with less manual assistance.
- Give customers and on-call teams useful diagnostic views across application, submission, remote-execution, and host or target layers so they can identify where failures and slowdowns originate.
- Set performance and reliability benchmarks for representative workloads. Apply profiling, metrics, traces, and controlled experiments to pinpoint the changes that make a difference.
- Evaluate and improve compute and GPU selection, scheduling and placement, concurrency, worker and runner configuration, resource sharing, caching, and input/output paths.
- Make retry causes, recovery outcomes, and wasted execution capacity visible. Work with component owners to eliminate recurring failures and unnecessary re-execution.
- Implement and validate infrastructure-level changes with application, build and CI, remote-execution, and infrastructure teams. Measure the effect on turnaround, successful efficiency, stability, usable capacity, and cost.
- Turn successful investigations into supported workflows, diagnostics, documentation, and clear customer handoffs.
- What we need to see
- Over 8 years of solid software engineering experience working with production compute infrastructure, distributed systems, large-scale build and test systems, or comparable systems software.
- Hands-on experience debugging complex performance or reliability issues across software and hardware boundaries using logs, metrics, traces, profiling, and experiments.
