# Software Engineer | Python, AI Cluster, Test Automation | 4-8 years

Meet The Team Cisco Validated Infrastructure Services (CVIS) establishes and proves the performance of large AI clusters before they are handed over to customers. We deploy each cluster, validate it against performance baselines, and deliver the evidence that it is ready for service. The platform behind that work is full stack. It combines workflow and API services, network and infrastructure automation, and the UI used to run validation across labs and customer environments. Your Impact As a Release Software Engineer, you will own the release lifecycle for CVIS/NVIS software across AI clusters. You will take every build from integration through Jenkins-driven, end-to-end automated testing on AI cluster environments to test planning, acceptance criteria, RA certification, release qualification and readiness. AI cluster releases meet documented functional, performance, interoperability and reliability gates. Results are reproducible and traceable to specific Jenkins builds. They are packaged for engineering, support and customer readiness. Critical AI cluster regressions are caught early in the Jenkins pipeline and resolved with actionable evidence.
