Own and operate NVIDIA’s production data platform, including pipelines, schemas, and data services supporting DGX Cloud reliability. Ensure uptime, freshness, quality, observability, and incident response while defining operational metrics and continuous improvements. Translate customer data needs into platform capabilities, establish engineering standards, review designs and code, mentor engineers, and drive the platform roadmap. The role requires strong Python, Databricks, Delta Lake, medallion architecture, data modeling, lineage, retention, and access-policy expertise.
Join a team of engineers at NVIDIA dedicated to building the operational data foundation that powers reliability and resiliency across the DGX Cloud program. Our team designs and operates the data platforms, pipelines, and schemas that enable engineering and leadership teams to measure, understand, and improve operational excellence at scale. As the DGX Cloud program grows, enabling teams to develop, deploy, and manage accelerated computing infrastructure is a top priority, and this team sits at the center of that mission.
What you’ll be doing:
- Own and operate the data platform end to end, including the pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve operational data to leadership and partner teams.
- Ensure the reliability of those pipelines by setting and meeting targets for uptime, data freshness, and quality, and by leading incident response, root cause analysis, and prevention work.
- Define, instrument, and report on operational success metrics such as SLIs/SLOs, pipeline latency, and data completeness, and use them to drive prioritization and continuous improvement.
- Partner with customer teams to understand their data needs, translate those needs into platform capabilities and schemas, and set clear expectations for support and delivery.
- Provide technical leadership by setting engineering standards, reviewing designs and code, mentoring engineers, and driving the platform roadmap.
What we need to see:
- 7+ years of experience in software technical leadership roles in an agile software development environment.
- BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Confirmed experience owning and operating production data pipelines, with a track record of keeping them reliable, observable, and fresh.
- Hands-on expertise in Databricks, including designing and leading schemas, tables, and access patterns using Delta Lake.
- Strong Python skills, with experience building maintainable, well-tested, production-grade data code.
- Solid understanding of medallion architecture and data modeling practices, with the judgment to apply them to balance data quality, performance, and usability.
- Experience applying data lineage, retention, and access policies in production environments.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Experience building data products and tooling that enables agentic workflows and analysis.
- Experience working with APIs for operational data including PagerDuty, Rootly, and Backstage.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
