Principal Architect, Site Reliability Engineering - GeForce Now

NVIDIA is the world leader in accelerated computing—from gaming to data centers to AI and robotics. We are a team of trailblazers reinventing computing at the intersection of graphics, high-performance computing, and AI. If you’re driven to tackle sophisticated challenges, push boundaries, and build technology that powers the future, NVIDIA is the place for you. 

We are looking for an expert and transformative Principal Architect for Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to join our GeForce Now Engineering team. In this role, you will define the architecture and strategic direction for NVIDIA’s highly available, scalable, and secure systems that power critically important services and platforms. You’ll collaborate with product, platform, and infrastructure teams to establish best practices, improve reliability, and drive the evolution of our SRE function. This is a highly specialized subject area which demands knowledge across different systems, networking, coding, database, capacity management, continuous delivery and deployment and open source cloud enabling technologies such as Kubernetes. 

What you will be doing: 

• Design and architect scalable, resilient infrastructure for cloud-native and hybrid services. 

• Define and implement SRE principles, SLAs, SLOs, and error budgets across teams and services. 

• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to ensure reliability, observability, performance, and security. 

• Lead architecture reviews, disaster recovery planning, incident response strategies, and postmortems. 

• Develop automation frameworks for deployment, monitoring, and remediation of systems. 

• Champion a culture of reliability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence. 

• Mentor SREs and DevOps engineers, sharing knowledge and standard methodologies across the organization. 

What we need to see: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• 15+ years of experience in infrastructure, cloud, or SRE roles, including at least 5+ years in an architectural or technical leadership position. 

• Expertise in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and container orchestration (Kubernetes). 

• Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and CI/CD pipelines. 

• Proficient with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Datadog) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible). 

• Strong programming/scripting skills (Python, Go, Bash, etc.). 

• Ability to communicate your ideas/code clearly through documents, presentation, etc. 

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• AWS, GCP, or Azure Professional Solution Architect Certification. 

• Familiarity with parallel programming and distributed computing platforms 

• Experience in developing large-scale and complex applications. 

• Cross-platform development experience. 

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and dedicated people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
