Senior Platform AI Engineer

- Define the architectural direction, infrastructure investments, and roadmap priorities for the efficiency platform - across silicon architecture, build, methodology, validation, and applied AI teams.

- Define platform contracts and onboard new agents and skills from the domain teams across SCG building on the platform.

- Owning end-to-end delivery of the platform - from design and implementation through sustained production operation - with accountability for security, reliability, performance, and evolution.

- Leading the unified solutions including orchestration patterns, authentication and authorization, observability, and SLA enforcement. Driving platform-wide decisions with multi-functional impact. Managing storage and caching strategies that scale across heterogeneous compute environments.

- Serving as the technical authority for infrastructure powered by artificial intelligence across SCG: setting engineering standards, resolving cross-team architectural challenges, and mentoring senior engineers.

- BS, MS, or PhD or equivalent experience in CS, EE, CE, or a related field, with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating production-grade platform or backend infrastructure.

- 5+ years of direct ML infrastructure experience, including end-to-end ownership of a model serving platform or latency-sensitive backend service from initial architecture through sustained production operation.

- Demonstrated track record of setting technical direction at the department or company level: defining platform strategy, establishing architectural standards, and leading initiatives spanning multiple teams.

- Strong Python skills and proficiency in at least one compiled language such as C, C++, Go, Java, or Rust.

- Hands-on experience with job queues + sandboxed execution (Kubernetes Jobs, Celery/Sidekiq/Temporal, container runtimes with resource isolation).

- Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to align senior team members and drive architectural decisions across organizations with contending priorities.

- Industry recognition in ML infrastructure or distributed systems - through publications, conference talks, open-source contributions, or technical leadership visible beyond your current organization.

- Experience driving platform architecture at company scale, including engineering standards or frameworks broadly adopted by other teams.

- Exposure to silicon design, methodology, validation or EDA toolchains, especially the cadence of chip development lifecycles.

- Experience building or operating AI platforms within a silicon development, validation or EDA environment, with a firsthand understanding of the reliability and scale demands of chip design toolchains.

- Track record of mentoring senior engineers and growing technical talent - shaping the capabilities of the team as much as the platform itself.

The platform you architect will run every workflow involving NVIDIA silicon - from bring-up, characterization, and debug to production sign-off. If leading the foundation that the next generation of SCG engineers builds on is the problem you want to solve, we'd like to talk!
