The cloud hosts a diverse mix of machines and devices with various operating systems (Windows/Linux/Android) and hardware platforms, including NVIDIA GPUs and Tegra processors.

What you’ll be doing:

• Architect, build and enable internal AI platforms and solutions to be used by thousands of NVIDIANs worldwide.

• Spot opportunities where AI is the best tool: uncover gaps, and recommend AI-first approaches over conventional solutions—grounded in hands-on evaluation of modern AI-native tools.

• Set the north star with cross-functional teams: align on end-to-end AI system outcomes and translate them into clear, measurable objectives.

• Introduce technologies enabling massively parallel systems to improve turnaround time by an order of magnitude.

• Lead through influence: Drive, motivate, convince, and mentor sub-system owners to achieve improvements with agility, speed, and high engineering standards.

• Optimize for performance and cost: identify bottlenecks across training, evaluation, and testing workflows and improve throughput, latency, and efficiency

• Collaborate with AI product vendors to gain deep insights of the AI industry, and share them with leaders and developers internally.

What we need to see:

• MS/PhD in AI/CS (or equivalent experience) with 12+ years building systems software, including 2+ years building/exploring AI solutions.

• Hands-on experience with LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning, and agentic/workflow orchestration.
