DevOps Engineer, HPC and LSF

NVIDIA is the leader in AI, machine learning and datacenter acceleration. NVIDIA is expanding that leadership into datacenter networking with ethernet switches, NICs and DPUs NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing.

As a member of the Hardware Infrastructure Farm team, you will provide leadership in the design and implementation of ground breaking compute clusters that powers all silicon development across NVIDIA. We seek an expert to build and operate these clusters at high reliability, efficiency, and performance and drive foundational improvements and automation to improve engineer's productivity. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you are responsible for the big picture of how our systems relate to each other, we use a breadth of tools and approaches to tackle a broad spectrum of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on reactive operational work, blameless postmortems and proactive identification of potential outages factor into iterative improvement that is key to both product quality and interesting dynamic day\-to\-day work. SRE's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is important to our success.
