Software Linux Engineer - Installation and Packaging

About this role

NVIDIA wants an outstanding Software Linux Engineer to strengthen our installation, packaging, and software delivery features for NVIDIA's networking software. In this role, you will craft, develop, and maintain user-space tools, packaging systems, software repositories, and installation flows across leading Linux distributions. These include traditional package ecosystems and modern declarative systems like NixOS (Nix package manager). This position allows you to make a tangible difference in a dynamic, technology-focused organization. Your contributions will support product lines powering the world’s most advanced data centers, cloud environments, and HPC systems.

Are you driven by Linux, system-level integration, and crafting seamless installation experiences? Do you want to play a role in promoting the deployment of high-speed networking solutions throughout multiple Linux systems, including developing declarative and reproducible package management methods? Are you enthusiastic about working on next-generation packaging technologies, automation, and AI-supported engineering solutions while enabling customers and internal teams to speed adoption?

What you'll be doing:

• Build, implement, and maintain installation, packaging, and software delivery workflows for NVIDIA networking software across major Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES, NixOS, etc.).
• Develop and provide ongoing support for meta-packages, software repositories, release channels, profiles, and tools. These resources help streamline user-space installation and configuration on traditional and declarative package managers like DEB/RPM and Nix.
• Build and implement automation solutions to improve package validation, release quality, and engineering efficiency, including the adoption of AI-assisted development workflows.
• Work with distribution maintainers and ecosystem communities (including Nix/NixOS) to ensure compatibility and smooth delivery through native packaging systems....
