  • Develop robust observability tools and procedures for this data infrastructure to ensure reliability and performance.

  • Collaborate with researchers to integrate cutting-edge data technologies into scalable training and eval pipelines.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 12+ years of full-time industry experience in large-scale MLOps and AI infrastructure.

  • Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.

  • Experience with Kubernetes and Ray.

  • Deep understanding of data frameworks and standards like SQL, Apache Spark, LanceDB.

  • Experience of GPU acceleration and CUDA programming.

  • Strong programming skills in Python and a high-performance language such as C++ for efficient system development.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Master’s or PhD’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field;

  • Demonstrated Tech Lead experience, coordinating a team of engineers and driving projects from conception to deployment;

  • Strong experience at building and operating large-scale data infrastructure;

  • Strong experience and curiosity in frontier AI research

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and productive people in the world. Please join us and be part of the forefront of developing general-purpose robots and large-scale foundation models!

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5, and 272,000 USD - 425,500 USD for Level 6.
