Senior Software Engineer, Fleet Intelligence Agent Systems

This role focuses on Fleet Intelligence in-band agent and out-of-band collector systems used for GPU health monitoring, host and BMC telemetry, inventory, attestation, diagnostics, and cloud operations automation, you will:

• Design and develop Fleet Intelligence agent software that runs on Linux hosts, bare metal systems, and Kubernetes GPU nodes.

• Build telemetry and health collection for NVIDIA GPUs, DCGM/NVML, drivers, CUDA runtime, InfiniBand, containers, kernel/OS state, CPU, memory, disk, and networking.

• Develop inventory, enrollment, node identity, local state, attestation, and backend export workflows and maintain local API, Prometheus metrics, file export, and OTLP/HTTP export paths.

• Build and improve Kubernetes daemonset deployment, systemd service packaging, .deb/.rpm packaging, and container image workflows.

• Contribute to open source Fleet Intelligence agent and collector software, including code, tests, documentation, release artifacts, and community-facing engineering practices.

• Contribute to out-of-band collection using Redfish/BMC interfaces for inventory, GPU attestation, BMC metrics, and logs.

• Improve collector concurrency, rate limiting, retry behavior, credential handling, partial-failure handling, and backend submission semantics.

• Collaborate with backend, infrastructure, SRE, security, and datacenter operations teams to deliver reliable GPU fleet observability.

• 5+ years of industry software engineering experience with a 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, for out-of-band collector development.

• 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.

• Strong debugging skills across hardware-adjacent software, operating systems, containers, and distributed backend integrations.

• Background with NVIDIA datacenter GPUs, DGX systems, DCGM, NVML, CUDA, GPU drivers, XID/SXID events, or GPU diagnostics.

• Experience building host agents, node agents, collectors, monitoring daemons, or Kubernetes daemonsets.

• Background with Redfish, BMCs, firmware inventory, secure boot state, PCIe device inventory, or hardware attestation.

• Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, OTLP gateways, or metric/log export pipelines and operating software in AI, HPC, cloud, or large-scale datacenter environments.

• Track record of meaningful open source contributions in systems software, observability, Kubernetes, Linux, hardware telemetry, Rust, or Go ecosystems.
