NVIDIA is searching for world-class software engineers to join the System Software for Cuda Compute driver team. This team develops and supports NVIDIA's kernel level drivers for supporting Cuda, especially on our AI, Cloud and Data Center product line-ups. This product line-up includes full system products such as the DGX platform, modular components such as MGX and stand-alone GPU boards. At the heart of all these products is the GPU itself, driven by low level embedded processors and drivers at kernel level, where this team lives.
We are a very dynamic team with many responsibilities. We work with sister software teams on developing features for upcoming generations of products. We work with partners on deploying new products, maintaining existing products, and developing requested improvements. We work with hardware and architecture on the future direction of existing and new features. These responsibilities evolve over time, resulting in a rich engineering experience and career.

What We Do
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.”
