We are now looking for a Senior Full-stack web applications software architect to join our Hardware Infrastructure team! Our team is building the next-generation event-driven data and visualization platform to power NVIDIA's GPU development efforts. We deliver the high-availability infrastructure that powers real-time data processing, streaming analytics, and scalable data-driven applications. This platform is essential for hardware engineers and management across the company, producing the core services used for real-time tracking, AI agents development, anomaly detection, and debugging of complex hardware verification and data processing flows.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Front end application modernization to serve a large and diverse customer base with complex concerns.
• Participate in the full life-cycle of tool development, end-to-end environment troubleshooting, test, and deployment of Java stack web applications.
• Build microservices and AI agents that are reliable, scalable, and maintainable.
• Develop and optimize real-time data processing pipelines using Kafka Streams, Apache Flink and Spark Streaming, ensuring high throughput, reliability, and low-latency performance.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineering and chip verification teams to understand data and UI/UX requirements and deliver robust, scalable solutions.
• Establish best practices for streaming data architecture, schema management, data retention and platform observability (monitoring, logging, tracing).

What We Need To See

• Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks—building complex data visualization tools and user-facing web applications.
• Expertise in designing, building, and debugging distributed Java stack applications, infrastructure and microservices.
• Deep understanding of Apache Kafka and proven experience building applications with Kafka Streams, Apache Flink or other event driven data pipelines.
• Detailed knowledge of distributed systems principles, concurrency, data structures, and algorithms.
• Deep understanding of the scalable data caching solution, specifically Redis.
• Excellent planning, presentation, and communication skills.
• BS degree (or equivalent experience) with 5+ years of relevant experience, MS degree with 3+ years of relevant experience.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Demonstrable knowledge of the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash) for logging and analytics.
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain), building LLM-powered autonomous agents, or integrating LLMs with real-time data streams for automated analysis or decision-making.
• Experience working with modern observability using OpenTelemetry (Grafana).
• Background with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Some experience with or understanding of the chip design process and/or EDA verification workflows.
