It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology-and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world!\nAre you ready to develop the future of brand new AI computing? Join NVIDIA's Network Automation & Intelligence Platforms team as a Network Software Engineer, Automation & Intelligence. Here, you’ll have the outstanding opportunity to build and operate innovative network automation systems across corporate offices, campuses, HPC data centers, contract manufacturing sites, and labs. Using NVIDIA's extensive global infrastructure, you will help us push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and network automation!\nWhat you'll be doing:\nBuild and deploy: Design and implement network automation for new builds and bring-ups, from zero-touch provisioning and config generation to validation and handoff to operations.\nOperate in production: Support live networks with automated change execution, health checks, drift detection, and incident triage. Find and fix issues before they affect service levels.\nOwn the platform stack: Contribute to the source of truth, CI/CD pipelines, orchestration, and observability integrations that automation depends on.\nIntegrate AI thoughtfully: Build LLM- and agent-based network tooling that moves from read-only investigation to autonomous, self-validating change execution as each change class proves safe, with rollback, scoped boundaries, and full audit trails.\nWork across teams: Partner with network, compute, storage, and facilities teams to turn operational difficulties into reliable, reusable software.\nScale automation across the team: Document, mentor, and enable other engineers to contribute to automation beyond the core team.\nWhat we need to see:\nMS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.\n12+ years of experience in network engineering or network software, with experience in both build and production operations.\nHands-on network automation experience, such as Python, Ansible, REST/gNMI/NETCONF APIs, and Git-based workflows.\nSolid grounding in routing, switching, and network architecture, including BGP, OSPF, EVPN/VXLAN, and MLAG.\nExperience with multi-vendor environments (Arista, Cisco, Cumulus/NVIDIA, Palo Alto, and similar).\nStrong problem-solving abilities and a history of managing complex projects from start to finish.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nExperience implementing LLM or agent-based tooling in operations with robust oversight, including read-only restrictions, approval processes, and audit logs. Working knowledge of agent frameworks, MCP, RAG, and applying ML to telemetry or capacity analysis.\nFamiliarity with incident management and change platforms (BigPanda, ServiceNow) and source-of-truth tooling (Nautobot, NetBox).\nBackground in cybersecurity and network security practices.\nExperience with large-scale GPU/AI fabrics, InfiniBand, RoCE, or other high-performance networks.\nClear communication skills and a focus on maintaining an inclusive, collaborative team culture.\nWidely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
