Ecosystem Solution Lead

NVIDIA is pioneering the future of data center infrastructure, and our BlueField Data Processing Units (DPUs), alongside the DOCA software framework, are at the heart of this revolution. We are looking for a highly technical, customer-obsessed Senior Technical Leader to define and drive the usability, integration standards, and provisioning for these cutting-edge technologies. In this role, act as the technical champion for the DPU, ensuring our software stack and tools are robust, performant, and intuitive from day one. By bridging the gap between core R&D and real-world deployments, this position directly shapes how seamlessly the world's largest data centers adopt our platform.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own the end-to-end BlueField and DOCA lifecycle, from out-of-the-box installation and configuration through field updates, provisioning, functionality, documentation, and performance.
• Act as the essential bridge between R&D and the real world by collecting operational feedback from customers and internal stakeholders (developers, architects, integration teams, and QA).
• Translate complex deployment friction points and customer pain points into actionable engineering requirements and architectural direction.
• Perform hands-on prototyping, scripting, and system-level validation—installing the product, reproducing scenarios, and analyzing logs—to continuously elevate the platform.
• Collaborate deeply with Core R&D, QA, and Solutions Architecture to guarantee new features meet strict usability standards.
  
  

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of relevant industry background in Linux systems, advanced networking, integration, and virtualization.
• Demonstrated system-level thinking and ability to understand complex interactions across hardware, firmware, OS, networking protocols, and DOCA services.
• Proven track record with software integration, development workflows, and enterprise lifecycle management.
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, and/or C/C++, automate deployment workflows, and build proof-of-concept integrations.
• Excellent communication skills to clearly and persuasively articulate messy real-world problems into structured R&D priorities.
• Willingness to travel to engage directly with key customers and engineering teams.
  
  

• Familiarity with deploying/provisioning/automating/orchestrating DPUs, or similar SmartNIC technologies at scale.
• Previous background as a Developer Advocate, Solutions Architect, or Development Manager for complex data center infrastructure.
• Proven success leading cross-functional engineering task forces to resolve critical out-of-the-box customer deployments.
