Senior Systems Software Engineer - NV Cloud Functions

NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF)

NVCF is an open-source platform that links workloads to GPUs, enabling teams to deploy, manage and serve GPU-accelerated, containerized applications across regions and clusters worldwide.

Focus on improving the performance, reliability, and scaling behavior of the system that routes AI workloads onto distributed GPU fleets on a polyglot platform.

• Work in a distributed team to explore innovative ways to make GPU- and DPU-accelerated applications easier to develop, deploy, and monitor on the latest NVIDIA hardware.
• Design and ship services in Java, Go, and Rust, building in the open on a public repository where commits, design proposals, and reviews are transparent to the community.
• Automate and optimize build, test, integration, and release processes for cloud-native solutions.
• Partner with engineering teams across NVIDIA so the platform integrates with adjacent technologies such as the KAI Scheduler, NVIDIA NIM, Grove, and Dynamo.
• Steward the open-source project by triaging community issues and pull requests, and writing documentation for contributors.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on software engineering.
• Expert-level knowledge in a systems programming language (Go, C, Rust) and a proven understanding of data structures, algorithms, and distributed software architecture.
• Strong understanding of container orchestration systems (Kubernetes) and container technologies with hands-on automation experience in CI frameworks like Git Lab and ArgoCD.
• Expertise in a scripting language (Bash, Python) and knowledge of Unix/Unix-like kernels such as Linux.
• Understanding of performance, security, and reliability in complex distributed systems.

• Background with pub-sub models and message queues.
• Experience optimizing for high-throughput network paths, with a working understanding of unary versus streaming and bidirectional protocols across HTTP/2 and gRPC.
• Experience developing Kubernetes Custom Resources and Operators deployed in cloud service providers.
