Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As a Software Engineer on the Build and Release team for NVIDIA OpenShell, you will own the CI/CD foundation that enables secure, sandboxed runtimes for autonomous AI agents, ensuring reliability from source code to shipped artifact.
• You will own and evolve OpenShell’s CI/CD system across GitHub Actions, self-hosted Linux amd64/arm64 and GPU runners, macOS runners, reusable workflows, gated e2e jobs, release canaries, and developer-facing branch checks; build and harden multi-architecture release pipelines for GHCR images, Helm OCI charts, Linux and macOS CLI binaries, gateway and sandbox binaries, Python wheels, Debian/RPM packages, Homebrew formulas, and install scripts; improve release reliability for dev builds and tagged public releases through version derivation, automatic tagging, checksums, artifact pruning, provenance, attestations, and downstream publishing; drive reproducible and performant builds using mise, uv, Cargo, maturin, BuildKit, Docker/Podman, sccache, native runners, Zig, osxcross, protobuf codegen, and pinned toolchains; own quality gates including Rust/Python checks, license headers, markdown/docs validation, e2e label gates, Docker/Podman e2e, Kubernetes/Helm e2e, GPU e2e, and release canary coverage; debug complex build and release failures across containers, registries, runners, package managers, cross-compilation toolchains, kernel/VM artifacts, and CI cache behavior; partner with platform engineers to improve install and operate experience across Linux, macOS, Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, GPU environments, and experimental VM/libkrun-based runtimes; and continuously improve CI observability, failure diagnostics, workflow runtime, cache hit rates, artifact traceability, and developer experience.
• You will join the OpenShell team at NVIDIA, which is defining the next era of computing by leveraging AI and GPUs to power computers, robots, autonomous systems, and AI agents; OpenShell provides a sophisticated platform with a control-plane gateway, privacy-conscious inference router, declarative policy engine, container and VM-based sandbox execution, GPU support, Helm deployments, multi-architecture artifacts, and public developer install flows.
• You will deepen your expertise in supply-chain hardening, multi-platform release engineering, and developer infrastructure while contributing to the safety, privacy, and usefulness of autonomous AI agents; you will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge toolchains and CI/CD practices at scale, positioning you as a leader in reliable software delivery for AI-driven platforms.

🎯 Requirements

• Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of meaningful engineering experience with strong ownership of build, release, CI/CD, developer infrastructure, or systems tooling.
• Deep experience with GitHub Actions or similar CI systems, including reusable workflows, self-hosted runners, permissions, secrets, workflow gates, matrix builds, artifact handling, and failure diagnosis.
• Strong Linux systems and shell scripting skills, with the ability to debug build failures at the boundary between OS packages, containers, compilers, linkers, filesystems, and runtime environments.
• Experience shipping multi-platform artifacts, including container images, Linux packages, macOS artifacts, checksums, installer scripts, and public release assets.
• Working knowledge of Rust and Python build ecosystems, including Cargo, cross-compilation, Python wheels, uv, maturin, protobuf generation, and native dependency management.

🏖️ Benefits

• Base salary range of $184,000 - $287,500 USD for Level 4 and $224,000 - $356,500 USD for Level 5, determined by location, experience, and market position.
• Eligibility for equity compensation as part of the total rewards package.
• Access to NVIDIA’s comprehensive benefits package, including health, wellness, and financial plans.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI and GPU technologies in a mission-driven environment focused on autonomous AI agents.
• Exposure to advanced CI/CD practices, multi-platform release engineering, and supply-chain hardening at scale.
• Collaboration with expert engineers in a culture that values creativity, pragmatism, and self-motivation.
