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.\nThis 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.\nWhat you’ll be doing:\nDesign and implement highly available automation systems, developer tooling, and intelligent dashboards that improve and monitor the quality of DriveOS builds and releases.\nPartner with teams across the organization to shape infrastructure roadmaps and consolidate tooling initiatives.\nArchitect 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.\nTranslate 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).\nBuild integrated data pipelines that aggregate telemetry from global systems and surface executive-level insights through advanced visualization and predictive quality metrics.\nEvaluate and operationalize emerging AI capabilities - including code-generation copilots, agentic coding assistants, and automated documentation tools.\nHelp define and deploy governance policies for AI-assisted tooling outputs, ensuring traceability, auditability, and compliance when AI-generated artifacts feed into safety-certified processes.\nRaise the standard for tooling quality and architectural guidelines. Coach and support engineers at all levels, fostering a culture of technical growth.\nWhat we need to see:\nBS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent experience, with 8+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or software tooling.\nStrong proficiency in Python and a solid understanding of tooling architecture and design patterns.\nExperience managing enterprise-scale CI/CD environments (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible).\nExperience 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).\nHands-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.\nExperience building internal developer portals and AI-powered interfaces, including chat-based or conversational UIs for agent interaction.\nStrong SQL and data-warehousing skills for managing high-volume metrics across multiple programs.\nClear communication and collaborative problem-solving skills.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nExperience developing and deploying tools across distributed organizations.\nPrior experience in automotive, aerospace, or medical industries where process infrastructure must meet strict regulatory and safety certifications.\nExperience building plugin-based or extensible tooling platforms (VS Code extensions, IDE plugins, CLI toolchains) that embed AI capabilities directly into developer workflows.\nExperience building and maintaining AI evaluation harnesses including automated regression testing for LLM outputs, prompt versioning, and guardrails for safety-critical AI-generated artifacts.\nYour 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.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until October 9, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
