Senior Manager - Compute Infrastructure Engineering

At NVIDIA, we are continually redefining the possibilities of compute infrastructure to power groundbreaking advancements in AI, gaming, and data centers. The Compute Infrastructure Engineering team plays a critical role in this mission by building scalable, reliable, and innovative platforms to meet the needs of our rapidly growing business.

As the Senior Manager, Compute Infrastructure Engineering, you’ll lead a team of expert engineers driving the evolution of our global IT compute environments. From integrating technologies like Kubernetes and Metal as a Service (MaaS) to enabling seamless scalability through software-defined storage, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of NVIDIA’s IT infrastructure strategy. You are also going to be responsible for Foundational Infrastructure Services like Baremetal Deployment, DNS, Configuration Management and Observability

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading a team of engineers responsible for designing, building, and maintaining compute infrastructure across virtualized, containerized, and bare-metal platforms.

• Overseeing the transition from VMware-based environments to Kubernetes, enabling a hybrid infrastructure that supports both containers and virtual machines.

• Developing and implementing Metal as a Service (MaaS) solutions to automate the provisioning and management of bare-metal infrastructure.

• Managing critical services, including DNS, Linux systems, and Configuration management, to ensure a robust and secure infrastructure.

• Driving the adoption of software-defined storage solutions (Ceph/NvmeOF) to replace legacy SAN and VSAN systems.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including networking, application, and storage engineering groups, to deliver comprehensive infrastructure solutions.

• Defining and implementing automation, observability, and self-service capabilities to enhance operational efficiency and user experience.

• Partnering with vendors and third-party providers to align on strategic goals while reducing dependency on single-vendor solutions.

What We Need to See:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 10+ overall years of experience in infrastructure engineering, with 5+ years in management or leadership roles.

• Expertise in managing and scaling virtualized, containerized (Kubernetes), and bare-metal environments.

• Strong proficiency in Linux systems, DNS, and configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.

• Proven track record of implementing Metal as a Service (MaaS) platforms for bare-metal deployments.

• Deep knowledge of storage technologies, including SAN, NFS, and Software Defined Storage

• Hands-on experience with automation tools (Terraform, Ansible) and scripting (Python, Bash).

• Exceptional leadership and team development skills with a history of fostering innovation and collaboration.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

• Experience designing and operating hybrid cloud environments at scale.

• Demonstrated ability to drive large-scale infrastructure transformations successfully.

• Expertise in implementing software-defined networking and storage solutions.

• Strong understanding of observability tools and methodologies for complex infrastructures.

• Passion for innovation and a vision for the future of compute infrastructure.
