Specifically, architecting the seamless interface between accelerated hardware and software stacks to deliver bare metal and virtualized accelerated computing hardware to users. You will define and drive the technical strategy across multiple datacenter environments (enterprise, sovereign, neocloud). Including defining and developing the control and data plane systems that enable full stack integration (on-demand, scalable, metered) for accelerated computing hardware. You will work with NVIDIA leadership, cross-organizationally and cross-functionally, to establish the product definition, roadmap, and technical strategy to deliver full stack accelerated computing at scale. What You'll Be Doing: * Various Architectural Work: Hardware-software boundary engineering, define and drive the technical implementation for DGX Cloud full stack integration systems, focusing on the interface between hardware, firmware, and system software layers. * Collaborate on Cross Domain Disciplines: Layered stack integration, drive the technical strategy and integrations for shared memory, storage, and networking systems, extending these capabilities through the IaaS and PaaS layers. * Infrastructure Delivery: Guide the technical delivery across varied environments including neocloud, enterprise, sovereign, and high security private datacenters, ensuring robust full stack connectivity. * Engage Stakeholders: Collaborate with customers, infrastructure providers, and partners to ensure NVIDIA's solutions set the industry standard for performance and availability. * Full Software and System Lifecycle: From ideation to architecture, design, development, deployment, operations, and full lifecycle management, lead all technical aspects of planning and continuous evolution of software, integrations, and operations. ## Related Videos - [Single Server, Global Reach: Running a Worldwide Marketplace on Bare Metal in a Cloud-Dominated World](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1206-single-server-global-reach-running-a-worldwide-marketplace-on-bare-metal-in-a-cloud-dominated-world) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Your Kubernetes Node Is Not a Server: Rethinking the OS Layer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100315-your-kubernetes-node-is-not-a-server-rethinking-the-os-layer) - [A Hitchhikers Guide to Container Security - Automotive Edition 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1119-a-hitchhikers-guide-to-container-security-automotive-edition-2024) ## Related Articles - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
