Ways to stand out from the crowd: * MLOps experience - crafting, deploying, and operating machine learning pipelines end to end. * Experience in open-source development workflows and community engagement on projects like Triton Inference Server or ONNX Runtime. * Familiarity with GPU software stacks - CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, and inference serving frameworks. * Experience building custom test automation frameworks and using data-driven metrics to improve platform health and developer efficiency. * Demonstrated ability to debug complex issues spanning kernel modules, container runtimes, and distributed networking. ## Description Become a Senior System Software Engineer on NVIDIA's AI Inference Operations Team, focusing on DevOps and Infrastructure Automation. Join a company revolutionizing computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing. You will be working alongside a team of passionate and skilled engineers who are continuously building better tools to deploy and manage this infrastructure. With your help, we will forge the next generation of compute infrastructure. If you thrive at the intersection of systems programming, cloud-native infrastructure, and developer productivity, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact at a leading technology company. What you'll be doing: * Design, build, and operate the infrastructure backbone powering AI inference products - reliable, performant, and scalable at every layer! * Own Kubernetes deployments end-to-end across cloud and on-prem: runbooks, canary checks, post-deploy validation, and rollbacks when needed. * Architect CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, packaging, and release of inference libraries and their container-based software stacks. * Build observability that actually tells the truth about platform health - dashboards, logs, metrics, automated checks - and lead first-level incident triage with clean, actionable handoffs to engineering. * Manage cloud and on-prem environments with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Crossplane), and chip away at toil using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and custom tooling. * Own the security posture for infrastructure components: vulnerability scans, CVE remediation, and compliance with internal policies. * Collaborate closely with deep learning framework engineers, compiler teams, and platform architects to streamline end-to-end deployment! ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [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) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
