Senior Software Engineer - Storage

NVIDIA is a pioneer in accelerated computing, known for inventing the GPU and driving breakthroughs in gaming, computer graphics, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence. Our technology powers everything from generative AI to autonomous systems, and we continue to shape the future of computing through innovation and collaboration. Within this mission, our team, Managed AI Research Superclusters (MARS), builds and scales the infrastructure, platforms, and tools that enable researchers and engineers to develop the next generation of AI/ML systems. By joining us, you’ll help design solutions that power some of the world’s most advanced computing workloads. What You’ll Be Doing Design, develop, and operate distributed systems that manage data, compute, and networking for large-scale AI workloads. Build software and automation to orchestrate workloads across thousands of GPUs and petabytes of storage in multi-region clusters. Collaborate with AI/ML research teams to understand their requirements and translate them into scalable, high-performance solutions. Drive improvements in system reliability, performance, and observability to meet exascale standards. Partner with security, networking, and platform teams to ensure that MARS infrastructure meets the highest standards of robustness and compliance. Participate in design reviews, contribute to system architecture discussions, and influence the evolution of NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure stack. Stay current with advances in distributed systems, large-scale computing, and AI frameworks to help shape the future direction of MARS. What We Need To See BS or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years of experience developing and operating large-scale distributed systems, infrastructure platforms, or HPC environments. Strong programming skills in C++, Python, or Go, with proven experience designing production-quality software systems. Solid understanding of distributed systems principles, data management, and large-scale orchestration frameworks. Hands‑on experience with high‑performance storage (e.g., Lustre, GPFS, BeeGFS) and compute scheduling and orchestration (e.g., Slurm, Kubernetes, LSF). Familiarity with cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP) and infrastructure automation tools. Strong problem‑solving skills, ownership mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment. Excellent communication skills and a track record of cross‑functional collaboration. Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd Graduate degree (MS/PhD or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Distributed Systems, or a related field. Expertise in large-scale data management, cluster scheduling, or workload orchestration at exascale scale. Experience building or maintaining infrastructure for AI/ML research, including distributed training pipelines using PyTorch, JAX, or NeMo. Familiarity with data security, compliance, and lifecycle management for research‑scale datasets. Demonstrated leadership in system architecture design, performance optimization, or reliability engineering.
