For two decades, we have pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has expanded to encompass video games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Today, we stand at the beginning of the next era, the AI computing era, ignited by a new computing model, GPU deep learning. This new model - where deep neural networks are trained to recognize patterns from massive amounts of data - has shown to be deeply effective at solving some of the most complex problems in everyday life. NVIDIA runs a very large GitLab environment, supporting 10s of thousands of engineers and massive repositories across the globe. Our Software Configuration Management (SCM) Tools and Infrastructure group is looking for a top SCM architect. You will tackle the challenges that we face with operating at scale to produce a best-in-industry solution and enable us to continue to provide unprecedented performance and reliability for our users. You will take on the challenges that come with operating and scaling our ever-growing GitLab deployment. In this role, you will design and code processes and automation tools to improve productivity managing and administering the SCM systems and applications used by our globally distributed engineering teams.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Responsible for the full SCM environment including application, OS, and server hardware components, developing the continued automation and innovation needed for our large environment
Create new solutions to improve the reliability and performance of our ever-growing infrastructure, and work with automated orchestration tools to deploy those improvements to hundreds of systems worldwide
Be part of a global team and will evaluate technology alternatives, work closely with other project members to specify solutions, craft schedules, and lead ongoing enhancements and support
Lead or contribute to GitLab upgrades and migrations, architectural reviews and design docs, root cause analysis and systemic fixes
