Developer Experience Software / Systems Reliability Engineer

Nuvacore, Austin, TX +1

The role

At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. We are seeking a Software or Systems Reliability Engineer with a strong background in developer tools/experience to build and own the front-end tool flows that our design and verification teams rely on to develop and verify the CPU. You will work closely with hardware design and verification engineers to keep build and test workflows (simulation, emulation, synthesis, lint, CDC, and formal verification) fast, reliable, scalable, and delightful.

What you need

Requirements — must have

BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience designing and implementing complex build systems with hierarchical dependencies: dependency graphs, incrementality, hermeticity, and caching.
Hands-on experience with Bazel and/or Buck, specifically writing rules and macros.
Experience designing continuous integration systems, especially dependency-aware build and test selection.
Experience with job scheduling for long-running, resource-constrained workloads (Slurm, LSF, Kubernetes, or similar).
Experience with distributed storage systems and the tradeoffs they impose on consistency, locality, caching, and retention.
Strong software engineering in Python, Rust, Go, and/or shell: tested, reviewed, maintainable code, with infrastructure treated as software.
Solid understanding of Linux operation system administration.

Requirements — nice to have

Experience in a semiconductor or hardware design environment, building or supporting front-end EDA flows (RTL simulation, emulation, lint/CDC, synthesis, or formal).
Hands-on experience with EDA verification tools such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, and/or Jasper formal verification tools.
Hands-on experience with EDA emulation platforms (Synopsys Zebu, Cadence Palladium)
Working knowledge of RTL design and verification flows, enough to debug flow issues alongside design and verification engineers.
Experience with remote execution and remote caching (Buck2 RE, Bazel RBE, BuildBarn, BuildBuddy, NativeLink, or similar).
Experience with workflow orchestration engines (Nextflow, Snakemake, Airflow, Temporal, or similar).
Exposure to cloud compute for large engineering workloads (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Familiarity with EDA tool licensing models and how they constrain scheduling (FlexLM/FlexNet).

The next great CPU won't build itself. We’re assembling a world-class team across every layer of CPU development, from architecture and design to verification, physical implementation, software, infrastructure, and product delivery. Every discipline matters, and every person has the opportunity to help shape the technology from the ground up.
