Senior AI Infrastructure Services Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Infrastructure System Software Engineer with Kubernetes-based infrastructure experience to join our Omniverse Infrastructure team! The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of system software design principles and experience in deploying, managing, optimizing, and scaling NVIDIA Omniverse™ Cloud, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that provides developers and enterprises a full-stack cloud environment to design, develop, deploy, and manage industrial Omniverse applications and workflows.

The candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to design and develop common system software blocks within Kubernetes clusters (e.g., Custom Resource Definitions, Operators and system plug-ins) to meet the highly challenging and multi-faceted requirements of the NVIDIA Omniverse™ Cloud. They include but are not limited to elasticity, multitenancy, high availability, fault tolerance, debuggability, operational efficiency, and sustainability of the cluster-level services as needed to onboard and optimize omniverse applications and workflows at large scale. A key feature of the workflows to compose one or more high-performance simulation/AI tasks, streaming Kit-based applications of various types, and elastic microservices via the use of Cloud APIs.

What you will be doing:

• Design and develop low-level system software solutions within Kubernetes to manage and schedule OVX cluster resources in order to power NVIDIA Omniverse™ Cloud (OVC).

• Design and develop cluster-level system software solutions to map a wide range of Omniverse workloads to the high-performance interactive tasks (Kit-based applications), elastic microservices and simulation/AI tasks.

• Collaborate with multiple Omniverse product teams to understand customer storage, compute requirements, and build supporting infrastructure.

• Work across organizational boundaries with diverse hardware and software engineers.

• Proactively identify and address system software challenges in compute, networking, and storage resource utilization that affect OVC’s availability, multi-tenancy, fault tolerance, debuggability, operational efficiency, and sustainability.

What we need to see:

• 6+ years of hands-on system software engineering experience to extend the cluster-level services for large-scale Kubernetes

• 4+ years of experience building large-scale distributed, fault-tolerant distributed services

• Experience with cloud infrastructure platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

• Strong systems programming skills, including optimizations using multi-threading, asynchronous programming, concurrency and parallelism, caching, and batching

• Proficiency in Python, C/C++ and Golang

• Working knowledge of elasticity techniques within Kubernetes

• Deep understanding of cloud technologies, distributed compute systems, and distributed systems and microservices architecture

• Masters or PhD in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience)

• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work successfully with multi-functional teams, principles, and architects across organizational boundaries and geographies

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Expert knowledge of virtualization and containerization technologies like Docker, VMware, KVM, etc

• Strong knowledge of elasticity techniques within Kubernetes

• Experience of co-designing high-performance application workflows with the underlying cluster-level software such as Slurm and/or Kubernetes
