Senior Storage Software Engineer - DGX Cloud

About this role

NVIDIA DGXC Storage team handles some of the fastest training and inference tasks. Every GPU cycle depends on a storage platform built to keep tens of thousands of accelerators continuously busy. It maintains exabytes of data securely and powers the largest AI workloads worldwide across cloud, neocloud, and on-prem setups. With the growth of accelerated computing, storage is essential. It can make the difference between effective GPU use and wasted potential, and between launching a frontier model on time or missing the deadline by months. We’re looking for a hands-on Storage Software Engineer to join the storage team as an individual contributor and technical lead. You will contribute to open-source parallel and distributed file systems and keep our largest GPU clusters fast, reliable, and durable. You will stay deeply hands-on: writing and reviewing production code, chasing root causes in the field, and setting the configuration and tuning standards our GPU fleets run on. This is a chance to do foundational storage engineering for the AI era at the company that introduced accelerated computing.

What you’ll be doing:

• Contribute to open-source file systems. Contribute code to open-source parallel and distributed file systems, and distributed object storage. Upstream fixes and features, and engage directly with the upstream communities and maintainers.
• Serve as a hands-on storage software lead. Write and review production code yourself, and read kernel, NFS, NVMe-oF, or SPDK source when a bug requires it. Make the final technical calls on storage deliveries against measurable targets.
• Triage and troubleshoot at scale. Triage, troubleshoot, and root-cause large, complex storage issues across very large GPU clusters (tens of thousands of GPUs) — I/O and metadata performance, data corruption, and recovery.
• Validate architecture and capabilities. Validate storage architecture, capabilities, performance, and durability. Run scale tests, benchmarks, and r...
