Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer, Compute Platform

Managing twenty-five scheduler cells by hand does not scale. NVIDIA is building a config-as-code foundation for its EDA compute farm, and we need 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 — that is the interesting version of the problem. You will be migrating off partial systems and reconciling drift, not starting from a blank repository.

Responsibilities

• Design and own the configuration schema for LSF cell deployment, so that a policy change is written once, reviewed, tested, and applied identically everywhere it belongs.
• Build the deployment pipeline that takes scheduler configuration from merge to production across a federated estate, including staged rollout and rollback.
• Eliminate configuration drift across cells, and build the tooling that keeps it eliminated.
• Stand up the regression suite that lets us upgrade LSF on a schedule rather than on a dare.
• Work alongside our 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.

Requirements

• 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.

Skills

• 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.
