What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the architecture and delivery of high-scale web products across frontend, backend services, and data layers, with clear availability and latency targets (SLOs/SLAs).

Own multi-team initiatives end to end: problem discovery, RFCs/design reviews, phased rollouts, and success metrics tied to product and business outcomes.

Drive reliability, performance, and observability improvements to meet exascale standards.

Establish engineering standards and reusable platforms/design systems to reduce complexity, support load and long-term tech debt.

Collaborate with NVIDIA AI Research teams to identify pain points and deliver the next generation user experience that accelerates their work.

Mentor and sponsor engineers; improve code quality, testing, security, and observability through reviews, pairing, and coaching.

Stay ahead of AI/ML infrastructure trends and drive adoption of best practices within the team.

What We Need To See

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience delivering production web systems.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, including active listening, translating complex use cases into clear technical requirements, and designing data models aligned with business logic and outcomes.
  • Deep cloud expertise (AWS, GCP, or Azure), infrastructure as code, containers, and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), along with mature CI/CD and safe deployment practices.
  • Full-stack depth: modern SPA frameworks (React/Next.js or Vue/Nuxt), JavaScript/TypeScript, and one or more backend languages (Node.js, Python, and/or Golang).
  • Familiarity with observability stacks such as OpenSearch, Prometheus, Grafana, or Loki.
  • Experience building machine learning platforms or self-service internal infrastructure tools focused on efficiency, resiliency, and observability.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, strong problem-solving ability, and a growth mindset.
  • Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor).

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • Hands-on ML platform depth (MLE experience or strong familiarity with DL frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX; distributed training ecosystems like Ray).
  • Datacenter-scale operational experience, including GPU cluster debugging, performance triage, and root-cause analysis across complex distributed systems.
