Senior Systems Software Engineer

NVIDIA is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to join our User Interface Infrastructure and Applications team. In this role, you will develop and build modern management frameworks invented for user interfaces that support large‐scale, accelerated, and software-defined data centers. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, scalable infrastructure that supports AI and high-performance computing workloads.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience developing software for networking systems—spanning Ethernet, InfiniBand, switching, routing, and open networking technologies—as well as a strong understanding of Linux platforms, cloud-scale architectures, and modern programming APIs.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing, implementing, and enhancing core networking management services that power NVIDIA platforms.

• Building modern UI components and application services that simplify system management and monitoring.

• Collaborating with engineering, UX, product, and architecture teams to define software requirements and technical designs.

• Ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance across distributed systems and complex infrastructure.

• Working closely with internal stakeholders, including field engineering, customer support, and platform engineering teams.

• Contributing to process improvements, development guidelines, and agile execution workflows.

• Participating in full lifecycle delivery—from design through development, validation, and release.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 8+ years of experience building software for Linux-based systems or data-center-grade networking products.

• Solid programming expertise in languages such as C/C++, Go, or Python.

• Experience with distributed systems, application services, or cloud-scale infrastructure.

• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, protocols, or network management systems.

• Ability to work effectively with multi-disciplinary teams and contribute to architectural discussions.

• Attention to detail and comfort working in a dynamic environment with evolving requirements.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across time zones.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Background in routing/switching technologies, network OS platforms, or data-center network design.

• Experience with UI/UX development frameworks or application dashboards.

• Knowledge of data models (YANG), RESTful APIs, and configuration/management frameworks.

• Familiarity with open networking solutions such as Cumulus Linux, Mellanox switches, or SONiC.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring frameworks, or SDN-based systems.
