Senior Systems Software Engineer, Developer Productivity and Cloud Automation - GeForce NOW

What You'll Own

This is the Kubernetes-native deployment platform paired with its automation system and the backend services and APIs that support it. We deliver zero-downtime global rollouts with automatic drift detection. Our reliable staging environments replicate production accurately. We provide cloud automation for bare-metal and multi-cloud environments. If a GFN service ships, runs, or self-heals, you build the infrastructure behind it.

• Build and develop backend microservices and REST/gRPC/MCP APIs that power the deployment platform, zone reservation/lease system, and developer self-service tooling

• Extend the platform with dynamic delivery, automatic rollback, drift detection, and automated zone bootstrapping

• Build and stabilize prod-like staging environments/zones so teams catch regressions early

• Develop and sustain Git Ops pipelines (Flux CD, Argo CD) across on-premises and Nvidia GFN Cloud/AWS/Azure/GCP

• Develop Kubernetes CRDs and operators in Go for scheduling, auto-scaling, and compliance across data centers

• Build backend integrations and control-plane services connecting CI/CD, observability, and automation systems into a unified platform experience

• Automate dedicated hardware and multiple cloud platform configurations using Terraform, Ansible, and Vault

• Implement monitoring solutions including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and ELK, paired with SLO/alerting for early detection

• Integrate automation tools - runbooks, Stack Storm bots, anomaly-triggered remediation, and Slack self-service release bots

• Bachelor or higher degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 10+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure and Dev Ops, with deep expertise in Kubernetes, Git Ops (or equivalent), and production-grade cloud-native CI/CD pipelines

• Expert Kubernetes: CRDs, operators, multi-cluster management, and security hardening (CIS, PCI/SOC
  2)

• Proficiency in Flux CD or Argo CD, Git Lab CI, and Jenkins;
  Go or Python for control plane development

• Experience handling Vault, Terraform, Ansible, and Helm in both on-premises and cloud environments

• Experience in developing and scaling RESTful, gRPC, MCP APIs and backend services.

• Experience running hybrid multi-cloud and bare-metal at production scale, and owning a platform roadmap end-to-end.

• Backstage or similar internal developer portals for self-service tooling

• Comprehensive expertise covering backend services as well as platform and infrastructure engineering

• Daily use of AI-assisted tools (Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot, Cursor) - we use these daily

• Hybrid infrastructure spanning on-premises GPU clusters and public cloud
