We are looking for Software Engineers with SRE or Production Engineering experience who have worked hands-on with bare-metal NVIDIA systems. This team builds the software and operational tooling that moves GPU capacity from installed hardware to production service supporting an IaaS production environment of BMaaS, VMaaS. **What you’ll be doing** - Build automation for bare-metal provisioning, hardware validation, firmware and software upgrades, repair, and cluster lifecycle management. - Develop tools that interact with BMC and Redfish interfaces to monitor hardware health, manage server state, and assist recovery workflows. - Handle and advance NVIDIA NVL72 systems and BlueField-3 or later DPUs throughout cloud partner and on-premises environments. - Diagnose failures across servers, DPUs, GPU systems, CPU systems, networking, Linux, and Kubernetes; turn recurring issues into automated detection and repair. - Define validation and handoff criteria so new capacity enters production safely and consistently. - Take part in on-call duties, incident response, root-cause analysis, and follow-up to implement permanent solutions. - Work with hardware, networking, platform, data center operations, and partner teams to resolve issues across ownership boundaries. **What we need to see:** - 5+ years building software for or operating production infrastructure, including substantial hands-on bare-metal experience. - Strong Go or Python skills, with a record of delivering production automation and services. - Direct experience with BMC and Redfish in server provisioning, health inspection, power management, or fault diagnosis. - Practical experience working directly with NVIDIA GPU hardware, such as NVL72 systems, and BlueField-3 or newer DPUs. - Experience with Linux, firmware and driver management, network boot, and the server lifecycle from initial provisioning through repair. - Experience managing production reliability through on-call duties, incident response, observability, and durable solutions. - Ability to debug failures across hardware, host operating systems, networking, and distributed services. - Clear communication and demonstrated ownership of problems that span multiple teams. - BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience in a practical setting. **Ways to stand out from the crowd:** - Experience operating BlueField DPUs in DPU mode, including host-to-DPU connectivity and lifecycle debugging, with DPU or equivalent experience considered. - Background with NVLink, InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, or GPU cluster performance validation. - Experience building safe, repeatable workflows for rack-scale bringup, firmware upgrades, hardware replacement, and customer handoff. - Experience with Kubernetes, GitOps, Argo CD, SLOs, and fleet-wide automation.
