Senior Software Engineer, Data Ingestion - Autonomous Vehicles

NVIDIA is at the forefront of innovation in autonomous driving, powering some of the most advanced AI systems in the world. Our Autonomous Vehicles (AV) team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to enhance and scale our data ingestion platform—a critical component for turning raw sensor data into actionable AI insights.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design, improve, and scale data ingestion pipelines to support continuous, high-volume AV sensor data flow.

• Ensure system reliability and data integrity through monitoring, validation, and quality checks.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including infrastructure, perception, and ML—to optimize end-to-end data handling.

• Reduce latency and improve performance across the ingestion stack.

• Partner with AV development teams to understand evolving data needs and improve accessibility for model training and validation.

What We Need to See:

• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience.

• 12+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.

• Expertise in Golang and building distributed systems at scale.

• Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals—data structures, algorithms, and systems architecture.

• A track record of driving system performance improvements or cost optimizations in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

• Passion for continuous learning and curiosity about cutting-edge technologies.

• Prior contributions to open-source distributed systems or cloud-native data platforms.

• Demonstrated ability to debug complex data issues across multiple services and layers.

• Excellent communication, planning, and teamwork skills.

• A mindset of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.
