Software DevOps Engineer, Networking

NVIDIA's networking software runs the fabrics inside the world's largest AI systems: NVLink and Infini Band switch management, subnet managers, in-network computing, and fabric telemetry. Our infrastructure and Dev Ops team owns how that software is built, tested, scanned, and released — the CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes-based build fleets, artifact and container registries, quality and security gates, and the hardware-simulation and lab environments the product teams rely on every day.

We are looking for a senior Dev Ops engineer who is at home on Linux, automates in Python and Bash without hesitation, and takes pipelines end to end, from a red nightly to a signed release. The work spans a dozen active repositories and three CI systems, together with a distributed team of Dev Ops and product engineers across the US and Israel.

Every build the networking software organization ships passes through what this role owns.

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for a portfolio of networking software products across Git Lab CI, Jenkins, and Git Hub Actions — from merge-request gates to nightly regressions and release pipelines that package, sign, and publish Debian and RPM packages and container images.
• Keep pipeline signal trustworthy: make failures visible and actionable, remove failure masking, stabilize flaky lanes, and turn nightly regression results into something product teams act on.
• Operate and evolve the build infrastructure — Kubernetes-based CI runner fleets, container registries and artifact repositories, caching, retention policies, and access control.
• Integrate quality and security gates into every pipeline: code coverage, static analysis, unit and functional test lanes, secret and container scanning, dependency and vulnerability scanning — and drive findings to closure with the owning teams.
• Automate provisioning of hardware- and simulation-based test environments with Ansible and Python.
• Partner with C++ and Python developers, verification engineers, and lab and infrastructure teams to unblock builds, harden release paths, and set repository standards — branch protection, code owners, merge policies.
• Apply AI-assisted tooling to Dev Ops work — automated code review, failure-triage assistants, agent workflows — wherever it removes toil.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

5+ years in Dev Ops, build and release, or infrastructure engineering roles, including pipelines owned end to end.

Deep, hands-on Linux skills on Ubuntu and RHEL: shell fluency, process and system debugging, package management, operating fleets of hosts, and containers with Docker.

Strong automation in Python and Bash.

Production track record with at least one modern CI system — Git Lab CI, Jenkins pipelines, or Git Hub Actions — including multi-stage pipelines for both compiled and interpreted codebases.

Working knowledge of Kubernetes as a CI and infrastructure platform, plus container registries and artifact repositories.

Familiarity with software quality and security tooling: coverage, static analysis, secret and vulnerability scanning.

Solid grounding in computer networking fundamentals and Git-based development workflows.

Ownership and clear communication — able to drive a problem across teams and time zones and to document what you build.

Building and packaging C/C++ projects with CMake and Conan, and keeping large compiled builds fast and reproducible.

Familiarity with high-performance networking — Infini Band, Ethernet fabrics, NVLink — or with switch and network-management software.

Running Sonar Qube, Coverity, Bullseye, or container and secret scanning at scale.
