Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer, Compute Platform

About the role

NVIDIA is building a config-as-code foundation for its EDA compute farm, and needs an automation engineer to own it end to end. You are joining at the point where this is still partially manual and inconsistently applied across cells — migrating off partial systems and reconciling drift, not starting from a blank repository.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing and owning the configuration schema for LSF cell deployment, so that a policy change is written once, reviewed, tested, and applied identically everywhere it belongs
• Building the deployment pipeline that takes scheduler configuration from merge to production across a federated estate, including staged rollout and rollback
• Eliminating configuration drift across cells, and building the tooling that keeps it eliminated
• Standing up the regression suite that lets us upgrade LSF on a schedule rather than on a dare
• Working alongside the LSF internals engineer to encode hard-won scheduler knowledge into templates and policy, so that expertise lives in the repository instead of in one person's head

What We Need To See

• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 6+ years in infrastructure engineering with strong config management depth — Ansible, Salt, Puppet, Chef, or comparable
• Real experience with GitOps practice at scale: review workflow, environment promotion, drift detection, and safe rollback
• Proficiency in Go, Python and shell, and comfort building the tooling rather than only using it
• Experience automating stateful, long-lived infrastructure where you cannot simply destroy and recreate

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• You have brought a manually administered estate under configuration management while it stayed in production
• Familiarity with LSF, Slurm, or another batch scheduler as a configuration target
• CI/CD experience for infrastructure, including test environments that meaningfully resemble production
• Observability instincts — you instrument what you automate

Pay

• Base salary range: 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4
• Base salary range: 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5
• Also eligible for equity and benefits

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until August 24, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
