Distinguished Engineer, Utility Computing

Details

NVIDIA is leading the industry in delivering accelerated computing in cloud and enterprise environments. We’re a team of innovative engineers dedicated to solving some of the world’s biggest challenges, constantly driving advancements, and impacting millions of lives worldwide.

As a technology leader at NVIDIA, you will lead the development of DGX Cloud strategy for utility computing, specifically the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) systems to deliver bare metal and virtualized accelerated computing hardware to users. You will define and drive the technical strategy across multiple datacenter environments (enterprise, sovereign, neocloud), including defining and developing the control and data plane systems that enable utility computing (on-demand, scalable, metered) for accelerated computing hardware. You will work with NVIDIA leadership, cross-organizationally and cross-functionally, to establish the product definition, roadmap, and technical strategy to deliver utility accelerated computing at scale.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the technical implementation and architecture for DGX Cloud utility computing systems to deliver bare metal and virtualized accelerated computing.
• Collaborate across domains to drive technical strategy and integrations for shared memory, storage, and networking systems.
• Guide technical delivery across varied environments: enterprise, government/sovereign, high security/air-gapped, and private datacenters.
• Engage stakeholders — customers, infrastructure providers, and partners — to ensure NVIDIA’s solutions set the industry standard for performance and availability.
• Lead full software and system lifecycle activities: ideation, architecture, design, development, deployment, operations, and lifecycle management for large technical scopes.

Requirements

• 18+ years overall in technical roles with a focus on operating systems, virtualization, networking, storage, and cloud infrastructure.
• 7–10+ years of lead experience.
• BS/MS or higher or equivalent experience in systems / software engineering, or related engineering fields.
• Technical proficiency in multi-tenant datacenter and cloud-native architectures for bare metal and virtualization across compute, storage, and networking.
• Proven success delivering high-impact, technically complex solutions that provide transparency into resource utilization, performance, and operational insights.
• Strong technical leadership: ability to synthesize cross-functional needs into architecture and design while guiding internal execution across diverse teams.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for engaging peers, partners, and high-performance / accelerated computing customers.

Ways to Stand Out (Preferred)

• Real-world experience building systems to support AI/ML workloads.
• Direct experience designing, developing, delivering, and operating secure, highly available, scaled systems in enterprise and cloud environments.
• History of engineering enablement: creating scalable processes and extensible systems that facilitate cross-functional collaboration and operations at scale.
• Familiarity with open source ecosystems and projects in the infrastructure space (e.g., Linux, KVM) and ability to collaborate/influence in open source project governance.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary range: 308,000 USD - 471,500 USD (final base determined by location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions).
• Eligible for equity and benefits.
