Senior Software Engineer, Bare Metal Infrastructure – DGX Cloud - CA, Santa Clara, United States
$152,000 - $287,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 28 October 2026 by the employer.
Develop bare-metal discovery, provisioning, and BMC automation services in Rust and Python for NVIDIA DGX Cloud GPU fleets.
About the role
The Bare Metal Infrastructure team in NVIDIA DGX Cloud designs and operates the software that turns newly racked hardware into validated production capacity for GPU fleets. You will work across the full bare-metal lifecycle, including automated provisioning, firmware qualification, hardware validation, and remediation.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and maintain production services for bare-metal discovery, provisioning, hardware validation, firmware upgrades, auditing, and repair across GPU fleets. - Develop integrations with Redfish and vendor BMC interfaces to manage server state, collect inventory and health data, enforce configuration, and drive recovery. - Contribute to and review code in a Rust codebase while building supporting tools and services in Go and Python. - Turn recurring hardware, firmware, and connectivity failures into automated detection, validation, and repair workflows. - Define and implement automated validation and handoff criteria for new platforms, firmware releases, and rack-scale deployments. - Debug complex failures across hardware, firmware, Linux, networking, and provisioning services.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience. - 5+ years building production infrastructure software, automation, or services, including hands-on work with bare-metal server systems. - Strong programming skills in Rust, Go, or Python, with a track record of shipping production code and willingness to work regularly in Rust. - Deep knowledge of enterprise server hardware from multiple vendors (such as Dell, Supermicro, Lenovo, or HPE), including BMCs, BIOS/UEFI, and firmware management. - Direct experience with Redfish and IPMI for provisioning, health inspection, power management, or fault diagnosis, alongside network boot (PXE/iPXE, DHCP, HTTP boot). - Strong Linux knowledge covering the boot process, kernel and driver interactions, hardware discovery, and low-level failure analysis.
