Job description

from Nvidia careers

NVIDIA's 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 — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as "the AI computing company." We're looking to grow our company, and build our teams with the smartest people in the world. Join us at the forefront of technological advancement.

NVIDIA BaseOS is the Linux distribution for NVIDIA GPU-based platforms deployed in AI and Data-Analytics industries. As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you'll design and build robust CI/CD pipelines, champion automation initiatives, and develop comprehensive testing frameworks. Working closely with System and Software development teams, you'll drive end-to-end automation for all developer and release workflows.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for building OS images across Ubuntu and RHEL distributions

  • Build unit testing and integration testing frameworks using Go and Python

  • Optimize CI/CD infrastructure using Jenkins and GitlabCI

  • Implement infrastructure as code with Terraform and work with Kubevirt for virtualized workloads
