Software Manager, Infra Tools AI Team

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. We are now seeking a highly motivated Infrastructure, Tools & AI Engineering Manager to join our Ethernet Switching group, working on SONiC Network OS. In this role, you will own and drive the engineering infrastructure that powers the full product development lifecycle — from development environments and CI pipelines through regression, code coverage, and test efficiency. You will apply cutting-edge AI and LLM capabilities to transform how we analyze failures, generate test coverage, and accelerate product quality. What you’ll be doing: • Lead and mentor a team of infrastructure and tooling engineers; set technical direction, define priorities, and grow team capabilities • Design, build, and maintain scalable infrastructure for development, integration, and test environments supporting SONiC OS. • Architect and deliver LLM-based tools for intelligent regression analysis — failure classification, root cause clustering, anomaly detection, and test flakiness prediction • Lead efforts to reduce regression runtime through parallelization, smart test selection, and dependency-aware scheduling • Develop deep technical knowledge of SONiC Network OS internals, including its subsystem architecture, SAI/ASIC abstraction layer, and management plane What we need to see: • B.Sc. degree or equivalent experience in Engineering/Computer Science/related field • 8+ overall years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years of experience in a leadership role, managing software development teams • Proven ability to lead technical teams: hiring, mentoring, technical roadmapping, and cross-team influence • Experienced with developing software testing tools and tests infrastructure • Strong Python programming skills; experience building production-quality automation frameworks and tooling • Demonstrated experience designing and operating CI/CD systems at scale (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent) • Hands-on experience with LLMs or AI-assisted developer tooling — building, integrating, or productizing AI capabilities in an engineering workflow • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a bias toward measurable outcomes and data-driven decisions Ways to stand out from the crowd: • Deep Linux expertise: system internals, networking stack, process management, and scripting • Prior experience building LLM-powered test analysis pipelines or AI-enhanced DevOps tooling in a real production environment • Knowledge of networking protocols and hardware: Ethernet switching, L2/L3 protocols, QoS, VLANs, high-performance data center networking • Experience with code coverage instrumentation in large-scale C/Python codebases and using coverage data for test prioritization • Track record of measurably improving regression runtime, test reliability, or CI throughput in a complex embedded or systems software environment
