📋 Description

• Develop and maintain Nix packages for CUDA Toolkit, cuDNN, TensorRT, and other NVIDIA compute software. • Build automation from release discovery through package generation, testing, and delivery, with clear diagnostics and recovery paths. • Own packaging improvements from investigation through delivery, turning recurring tasks and failures into reusable tools and automated regression tests. • Work with product teams, release engineers, and the Nix community to support new releases and contribute improvements upstream. • Develop tools and automation across Kitmaker’s packaging and release systems, working across languages, platforms, and package formats as team needs evolve. • Collaborate with NVIDIA product teams and open-source contributors to balance upstream compatibility with product requirements and release commitments.

🎯 Requirements

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. • 12+ years of experience in software engineering, packaging, release engineering, or infrastructure automation. • Strong practical experience with the Nix package manager, Nix expression language, and nixpkgs packaging conventions. • Proficiency in Python or another general-purpose programming language, along with shell scripting and Linux debugging. • Experience building maintainable automation, CI/CD pipelines, and tests that validate actual package installation and use. • Sound judgment about scope, maintenance cost, and delivery risk; ability to distinguish required product outcomes from preferred technical approaches and execute agreed priorities. • Clear communication and effective collaboration across product teams, release engineering, and open-source communities. • Contributions to nixpkgs or other Nix projects that demonstrate technical depth and constructive collaboration. • Experience packaging GPU software or complex, multi-version dependency stacks, including CUDA driver/runtime compatibility. • Familiarity with Debian, RPM, or Conda packaging, binary caches, or artifact repositories. • Examples of reducing manual maintenance through automation, including practical experience building, evaluating, or improving agentic engineering workflows.
