Our mission empowers every GeForce NOW engineer to deliver confidently by removing obstacles, catching issues early, and turning deployments into a strength rather than a liability. We handle pipelines using GitLab’s CI platform and Jenkins, along with Flux CD and Argo CD rollouts, StackStorm event-driven automation, HashiCorp Vault for credential storage, and automation across multi-cloud environments. This is the Kubernetes-native deployment platform paired with its automation system and the backend services and APIs that support it. We deliver zero-downtime global rollouts with automatic drift detection. Our reliable staging environments replicate production accurately. We provide cloud automation for bare-metal and multi-cloud environments. If a GFN service ships, runs, or self-heals, you build the infrastructure behind it.

What You'll Be Doing:

- Build and develop backend microservices and REST/gRPC/MCP APIs that power the deployment platform, zone reservation/lease system, and developer self-service tooling

- Extend the platform with dynamic delivery, automatic rollback, drift detection, and automated zone bootstrapping

- Build and stabilize prod-like staging environments/zones so teams catch regressions early

- Develop and sustain GitOps pipelines (Flux CD, Argo CD) across on-premises and Nvidia GFN Cloud/AWS/Azure/GCP

- Develop Kubernetes CRDs and operators in Go for scheduling, auto-scaling, and compliance across data centers

- Build backend integrations and control-plane services connecting CI/CD, observability, and automation systems into a unified platform experience

- Automate dedicated hardware and multiple cloud platform configurations using Terraform, Ansible, and Vault

- Implement monitoring solutions including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and ELK, paired with SLO/alerting for early detection

- Integrate automation tools — runbooks, StackStorm bots, anomaly-triggered remediation, and Slack self-service release bots
