[Remote] Senior System Software Engineer - Data Platform Observability

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. NVIDIA is a leading technology company seeking a Senior System Software Engineer to lead the evolution of their Data & Observability Platform. The role involves architecting high-performance ingestion systems, building policy enforcement systems, and optimizing storage and cost while driving platform automation.

Responsibilities

• Architect High-Performance Ingestion: Design and build centralized telemetry pipelines capable of handling massive scale. You will solve global latency challenges by implementing modern, push-based edge collection architectures to replace legacy proxy models
• Build Policy Enforcement Systems: Design and implement the technical infrastructure for data governance, policy engines, access control enforcement points, secure credential management, and audit logging. Looking for someone who has built governance controls into a platform, not just administered them
• Focus on User Experience: Develop a modern, web interface and APIs that unify distinct observability signals into a seamless, consolidated user experience
• Optimize Storage & Cost: Implement cost-effective tiered storage architectures. You will define strategies for routing high-volume data to cold storage solutions to reduce costs while maintaining multi-year data retention
• Drive Platform Automation: Architect workflow orchestration systems to automate platform maintenance, data lifecycle management, and complex pipeline operations
• Work in a diverse team to provide operational and strategic data to empower our engineers and researchers to improve performance, productivity, and efficiency to continuously improve quality, workloads, and processes through better observability

Skills

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 8+ years of full-stack software development experience with a focus on Data Platforms or Infrastructure Tools
• Strong Full-Stack Fluency: Proficiency in high-performance backend systems programming and modern frontend web frameworks for building responsive user interfaces (Python, JS, Java, Rust, Go, React, or similar)
• Observability Expertise: Experience with observability platforms such as Apache Spark, Elastic/Open Search, Grafana, Prometheus, and other similar open-source tools. Hands-on experience operating and extending the Grafana Ecosystem or ELK stack at scale. You understand the internals of time-series databases and inverted indexes
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Experience deploying complex stateful services on Kubernetes using Helm, Terraform, or Ansible
• Streaming & Storage: Familiarity with event streaming and modern data lake formats
• Experience writing Custom Grafana data source Plugins or backend plugins in Go
• Background with migrating legacy monoliths to microservices or Vector-based pipelines
• Experience with OpenTelemetry (OTEL) collector configuration, writing custom processors, or instrumentation SDKs
• Background in Data Governance, including implementation of Policy-as-Code or compliance frameworks in a regulated environment
