NVIDIA

Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack

US, CA, Santa Clara Full time

NVIDIA has been reinventing computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for 30 years. It is 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, generative AI, 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 a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work.

We are looking for an experienced full‑stack software engineer to design and optimize large‑scale cloud infrastructure—driving company‑wide cloud optimization, governance, and impact.

What you will be doing:

  • Lead architecture and delivery of high-scale web applications across front end, services, and data with clear reliability and performance targets (SLOs/SLAs).

  • Own multi-team initiatives end to end: discovery, RFCs/design reviews, phased rollouts, and measurable impact on product and business outcomes.

  • Establish engineering standards, reusable platforms/design systems, and microservice/event patterns that reduce complexity and long-term tech debt.

  • Mentor and sponsor engineers; raise the bar on code quality, testing, security, and observability through reviews, pairing, and coaching.

  • Partner with product, design, data, and security to shape roadmaps, align trade-offs, and de-risk critical launches.

What we need to see:

  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience.

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience delivering production web systems 

  • Data engineering experience with large-scale data lakes; proven ability to build and operate pipelines over very large datasets and support OLAP workloads at scale.

  • Strong stakeholder collaboration: ability to actively listen, translate complex use cases into clear technical requirements and features, and design data models that align with business logic and outcomes.

  • Cloud expertise (AWS/GCP/Azure), infrastructure as code, containers, and orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes); mature CI/CD and safe deploy strategies.

  • Depth across the stack: modern SPA frameworks (React/Next.js or Vue/Nuxt), TypeScript/JavaScript, and one or more back-end languages (Node.js, Java, or Python).

  • Proficient in API design (REST and/or GraphQL), schema evolution, and integration patterns, with a strong commitment to rigorous automated testing practices.

  • Clear written and verbal communication and drives alignment via design docs

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Hands-on experience with cloud cost optimization and building tools around these areas.

  • Develop and implement end-to-end FinOps strategies with a strong understanding of cloud billing systems and the FOCUS schema.
