Experience building advanced CI/CD systems that are highly inhomogeneous, with limited resources and large, business-critical test matrix requirements. * Extensive experience with C/C++ software release processes, packaging, verification and customer delivery under time-critical constraints with multiple partners. * Hands-on C/C++ programming and debugging skills in Linux and ideally other platforms/operating systems. * Successfully scaled engineering teams through rapid growth or significant technical and organizational change, or contributed to open-source C++/CUDA projects, AI, or developer-platform technologies. * Experience managing large-scale monorepos and designing efficient CI/CD pipelines for the same. ## Description We are looking for a Senior Manager, Software Engineering to lead the evolution of our DevOps, Build Engineering and Infrastructure team. You will build and guide a high-performing engineering team responsible for building, testing, verifying and releasing core software that help NVIDIA employees deliver the core CUDA driver, runtime, and related language specific libraries in C++, Python and Rust such as CCCL (Thrust, CUB, libcudacxx), cuda-python, numba-cuda, and cuda-rust. This hands-on leadership role combines people development, CI/CD, technical strategy, architecture, and end-to-end operational ownership. What you'll be doing: * Lead, hire, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of engineers building employee-facing products software development, CI/CD, and agentic AI experiences. * Define the engineering vision, architecture, multi-quarter roadmap, and success measures for a cohesive developer experience and the platform serving a global workforce. * Plan and manage team execution, including project prioritization, workload balancing, achievement tracking, dependency management, and predictable delivery. * Provide hands-on technical leadership across Perforce, Git, GitHub, GitLab, and multiple CI/CD platforms. Deliver a new platform that accelerates software development and delivery. * Raise the engineering bar for architecture, testing, documentation, CI/CD, maintainability, and developer productivity while guiding teams through complex technical tradeoffs. * Own the operational health of the team's products and services, including reliability, performance, incident response, observability, capacity planning, and cost efficiency and ensure security, privacy, accessibility, and responsible AI principles are incorporated throughout product design and development.
