Software Engineer | Python, AI Cluster, Test Automation | 4-8 years

Overview

As a Release Software Engineer on Cisco Validated Infrastructure Services (CVIS), you will own the release lifecycle for CVIS/NVIS software across AI clusters, from integration through automated testing to release readiness.

What you'll do

• Take every build from integration through Jenkins-driven, end-to-end automated testing on AI cluster environments.
• Handle test planning, acceptance criteria, RA certification, release qualification and readiness.
• Ensure AI cluster releases meet documented functional, performance, interoperability and reliability gates.
• Keep results reproducible and traceable to specific Jenkins builds, packaged for engineering, support and customer readiness.
• Catch critical AI cluster regressions early in the Jenkins pipeline and resolve them with actionable evidence.
• Drive CVIS releases through each stage, from integration and automated Jenkins test runs to final readiness.
• Enforce release gates in Jenkins pipelines covering GPU, NCCL, network-fabric and workload validation, and keep release status transparent to all stakeholders.

What you'll need

• Ability to turn AI cluster system requirements into measurable tests, acceptance criteria and release gates.
• Clear technical writing and strong cross-functional communication.
• Test automation in Python or a similar language, built into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines (Jenkinsfile, shared libraries, job orchestration) that validate AI cluster deployments.
• Linux skills for debugging compute, GPU, network and storage issues in AI clusters.
• Track AI cluster feature readiness across releases, using Jenkins build and test results as evidence.
