Santa Clara, CA

We are looking for a Seniro Manager System Software Engineer, Software Defined Networking to build highly performant and scalable Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions and seamlessly integrate these with the rest of the Cloud Infrastructure in order to host Accelerated Compute applications like Hyperscale Multi-node training, Inference, Cloud Gaming, Cloud functions etc.

NVIDIA's invention of the GPU 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 are looking to grow our company, and grow with the smartest people in the world. We are looking for you.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Design, develop, deploy and operate next generation horizontally scalable multi-tenant SDN network architecture with security in mind, and seamlessly integrate it with the rest of the Cloud Infrastructure.

  • Architect Cloud reference designs and toolchains for NVIDIA customers and partners.

  • To complement the efficient networking architecture, you will help crafting Infrastructure-as-a-Service for networking that can provision performant virtual networks on demand to provide support for VMs and containers in multi-tenant environment. This service will provide easy to use high level abstractions for the users, via Cloud APIs. You will also help building a vendor neutral access layers for automated configurations of networking infrastructure.

  • You will also design and develop software for monitoring the overall network health for effective operations. The intelligence needs to be build into the system for tracking and regulating usage by various tenants, analyzing it and taking appropriate actions.
