Senior Staff Client Platform Engineer

About the role

This Senior Staff Client Platform Engineer role is a high-impact technical leadership position dedicated to architecting NVIDIA's next-generation client platforms. You will move beyond traditional management to build scalable, automated, agentic ecosystems that define the future of global endpoint infrastructure. In this role, you will set the vision for platform service delivery, lead multi-functional initiatives, and drive measurable improvements in reliability, security, and developer productivity through advanced software engineering practices.

What You'll Be Doing

• Architect and build scalable tooling and services for client platforms, establishing the end-to-end technical strategy for platform automation and service delivery.
• Apply deep codified principles to ensure repeatable, auditable, and version-controlled changes across a global, heterogeneous client environment.
• Set and enforce technical standards for platform automation, mentoring other engineers and driving the adoption of modern software engineering practices across IT.
• Collaborate with Security, Networking, and Product teams to systematically improve platform reliability and the internal developer experience.
• Serve as the primary architect for sophisticated service delivery challenges, driving root-cause analysis and long-term remediation for core platform services.
• Influence and recommend changes to policies, standards, and architectural direction, and establish procedures that impact multiple teams or the broader organization.

What We Need To See

• BS/MS or equivalent experience in Engineering or Computer Science.
• 12+ years of experience in Client Platform Engineering.
• Expert-level client platform engineering experience with a proven track record of managing global endpoint fleets at scale.
• Mastery of Configuration as Code and Infrastructure as Code methodologies (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet) and Git-based CI/CD workflows.
• Demonstrated success in building internal tooling, CLI tools, or microservices that automate complex platform operations.
• Strong proficiency in software development (e.g., Python, Go, or Rust) applied specifically to systems engineering and platform tooling.
• Strong communication and partner management skills, with the ability to align diverse teams around a common platform vision.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Strong experience in Windows client environment engineering, particularly in large-scale enterprise settings.
• Familiarity with building AI models or agents to enhance platform automation and self-healing capabilities.
• Sincere dedication to the end-user experience, with a history of using data and feedback to drive user-focused platform improvements.
• Experience with macOS client platform engineering.
