The role involves designing, building, and maintaining services that enable real-time data analytics, streaming, data lakes, observability and ML/AI training and inferencing. The responsibilities include implementing software and systems engineering practices to ensure high efficiency and availability of the platform, as well as applying SRE principles to improve production systems and optimize service SLOs. Additionally, collaboration with our customers to plan implement changes to the existing system, while monitoring capacity, latency, and performance is part of the role.
To succeed in this position, a strong background in SRE practices, systems, networking, coding, capacity management, cloud operations, continuous delivery and deployment, and open-source cloud enabling technologies like Kubernetes and OpenStack is required. Deep understanding of the challenges and standard methodologies of running large-scale distributed systems in production, solving complex issues, automating repetitive tasks, and proactively identifying potential outages is also necessary.
Furthermore, excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving, and openness are essential. As a Senior SRE at NVIDIA, you will have the opportunity to work on innovative technologies that power the future of AI and data science, and be part of a dynamic and supportive team that values learning and growth. The role provides the autonomy to work on meaningful projects with the support and mentorship needed to succeed, and contributes to a culture of blameless postmortems, iterative improvement, and risk-taking.
What you ll be doing:
Develop software solutions to ensure reliability and operability of large-scale systems supporting machine-critical use cases.
Gain a deep understanding of our system operations, scalability, interactions, and failures to identify improvement opportunities and risks.
Create tools and automation to reduce operational overhead and eliminate manual tasks.
Establish frameworks, processes, and standard methodologies to enhance operational maturity, team efficiency, and accelerate innovation.
Define meaningful and actionable reliability metrics to track and improve system and service reliability.
Oversee capacity and performance management to facilitate infrastructure scaling across public and private clouds globally.
Build tools to improve our service observability for faster issue resolution.
Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems
What we need to see:
Minimum of 6+ years of experience in SRE, Cloud platforms, or DevOps with large-scale microservices in production environments.
