TL;DR · Senior Systems Software Engineer, GPU Fleet Telemetry

The Senior Systems Software Engineer, GPU Fleet Telemetry joins the DGX Cloud / Fleet Intelligence team to build agent-side systems for collecting GPU health, host telemetry, inventory, attestation evidence, and BMC data across a GPU fleet. You will design and develop Fleet Intelligence agent software for Linux hosts, bare metal systems, and Kubernetes GPU nodes. Responsibilities include building telemetry for DCGM, NVML, drivers, CUDA runtime, InfiniBand, and networking, while maintaining local APIs, Prometheus metrics, and OTLP/HTTP export paths. You will contribute to open source software, manage .deb/.rpm packaging, and develop out-of-band collection using Redfish/BMC interfaces. Required skills include Go development, Rust, Linux systems knowledge, and experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and production deployment workflows to solve GPU fleet observability and cloud operations automation.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop Fleet Intelligence agent software for Linux hosts, bare metal systems, and Kubernetes GPU nodes.
  • Build telemetry and health collection for GPUs, drivers, CUDA runtime, InfiniBand, and various hardware components.
  • Develop inventory, node identity, and attestation workflows while maintaining local APIs and Prometheus metrics.
  • Build and improve Kubernetes daemonset deployments, systemd service packaging, and container image workflows.
  • Contribute code, tests, and documentation to open source Fleet Intelligence agent and collector software.
  • Develop out-of-band collection systems using Redfish and BMC interfaces for inventory and GPU attestation.
  • Improve collector concurrency, rate limiting, retry behavior, and backend submission semantics.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of industry software engineering experience.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong Go development experience for Linux services, CLIs, agents, or daemons.
  • Rust experience, or strong willingness to work in Rust (preferred).
  • Strong Linux systems knowledge including processes, filesystems, networking, service lifecycle, logs, permissions, and host diagnostics.
  • Experience with telemetry, observability, health monitoring, or fleet-management systems and with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and production deployment workflows.
  • Experience contributing to open source projects or working in public repositories with code review, issue tracking, documentation, release notes, and signed commits.
  • Familiarity with secure credential handling, enrollment flows, tokens/JWTs, and service-to-service authentication.
