Details

NVIDIA is building a configuration-as-code foundation for its EDA compute farm. The role will own the automation platform end to end, migrating partially manual and inconsistently applied systems, reconciling configuration drift, and managing deployments across scheduler cells.

Responsibilities

Design and own the configuration schema for LSF cell deployment, enabling policy changes to be written once, reviewed, tested, and applied consistently.
Build the deployment pipeline that promotes scheduler configuration from merge to production across a federated estate, including staged rollout and rollback.
Eliminate configuration drift across scheduler cells and build tooling to prevent its recurrence.
Establish a regression suite that enables scheduled LSF upgrades.
Work with the LSF internals engineer to encode scheduler knowledge into templates and policy.

Requirements

BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
6+ years of infrastructure engineering experience with strong configuration management expertise using Ansible, Salt, Puppet, Chef, or comparable technologies.
Practical experience with GitOps at scale, including review workflows, environment promotion, drift detection, and safe rollback.
Proficiency in Go, Python, and shell, with experience building infrastructure tooling.
Experience automating stateful, long-lived infrastructure that cannot simply be destroyed and recreated.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience bringing a manually administered production estate under configuration management.
Familiarity with LSF, Slurm, or another batch scheduler as a configuration target.
Infrastructure CI/CD experience, including test environments that meaningfully resemble production.
Experience instrumenting automated systems and applying observability practices.

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary range is USD 184,000–287,500 for Level 4 and USD 224,000–356,500 for Level 5. Base salary is determined by location, experience, and compensation of employees in similar positions. The role is also eligible for equity and benefits.
