The posting

NVIDIA is harnessing the power of AI and high-performance computing to build the future of mobility. DriveOS is the software platform behind autonomous vehicles and other intelligent machines, combining system software, virtualization, and accelerated computing capabilities for safety-critical applications. Our Infrastructure and Tooling team makes the engineering environment behind that platform coherent, practical, and scalable — and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape it.

This role combines software engineering and AI-enabled automation with first-principles thinking: building tools that help teams deliver reliable software and evidence that is fit for product risk. You will help a globally distributed organization turn quality, safety, and cybersecurity expectations into integrated engineering workflows — embedding intelligent agents, automated reasoning, and data-driven insights where they improve development efficiency and product quality.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Design and implement highly available automation systems, developer tooling, and intelligent dashboards that improve and monitor the quality of DriveOS builds and releases.
  • Partner with teams across the organization to shape infrastructure roadmaps and consolidate tooling initiatives.
  • Architect AI-native pipelines that integrate LLM-based agents, RAG systems, and multi-agent orchestration into core engineering workflows — automating tasks such as requirements analysis, test generation, defect triage, and safety documentation.
  • Translate multi-functional collaborator requirements into process-automation solutions that operate in environments aligned with automotive standards (ISO 26262, ISO 21434) and quality models (ISO 25010).
  • Build integrated data pipelines that aggregate telemetry from global systems and surface executive-level insights through advanced visualization and predictive quality metrics.
  • Evaluate and operationalize emerging AI capabilities — including code-generation copilots, agentic coding assistants, and automated documentation tools.
  • Help define and deploy governance policies for AI-assisted tooling outputs, ensuring traceability, auditability, and compliance when AI-generated artifacts feed into safety-certified processes.
  • Raise the standard for tooling quality and architectural guidelines. Coach and support engineers at all levels, fostering a culture of technical growth.

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent experience, with 8+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or software tooling.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and a solid understanding of tooling architecture and design patterns.
  • Experience managing enterprise-scale CI/CD environments (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
  • Experience building production-grade, full-stack systems — backend microservices (Python, Node.js, Go), RESTful and GraphQL APIs, relational and NoSQL datastores, graph databases (e.g., Neo4j), and modern web interfaces (React, Next.js, or TypeScript).
  • Hands-on experience deploying LLM and agentic applications, including agent frameworks, tool integration, MCP-based systems, memory and orchestration, prompt engineering, guardrails, evaluation, and RAG/GraphRAG architectures.
  • Experience building internal developer portals and AI-powered interfaces, including chat-based or conversational UIs for agent interaction.
  • Strong SQL and data-warehousing skills for managing high-volume metrics across multiple programs.
  • Clear communication and collaborative problem-solving skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience developing and deploying tools across distributed organizations.
  • Prior experience in automotive, aerospace, or medical industries where process infrastructure must meet strict regulatory and safety certifications.
  • Experience building plugin-based or extensible tooling platforms (VS Code extensions, IDE plugins, CLI toolchains) that embed AI capabilities directly into developer workflows.
  • Experience building and maintaining AI evaluation harnesses including automated regression testing for LLM outputs, prompt versioning, and guardrails for safety-critical AI-generated artifacts.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 9, 2026.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
