As a member of the GPU AI/HPC Infrastructure team, you will provide leadership in the design and implementation of groundbreaking GPU compute clusters that powers all AI research across NVIDIA. We seek an expert to build and operate these clusters at high reliability, efficiency, and performance and drive foundational improvements and automation to improve researchers productivity. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you are responsible for the big picture of how our systems relate to each other, we use a breadth of tools and approaches to tackle a broad spectrum of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on reactive operational work, blameless postmortems and proactive identification of potential outages factor into iterative improvement that is key to both product quality and interesting dynamic day-to-day work. SRE's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is important to our success. Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to build an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.
