We research, develop, and deploy solutions in networking hardware, programming environments, and system software to make current and future high-end computer systems more performant, scalable, and usable.

  • Creating proofs-of-concept to evaluate and motivate extensions in AI Frameworks (PyTorch/NEMO), HPC programming models (MPI, OpenSHMEM, PGAS), new runtime designs, and new network hardware features.

  • Research, design and implement features for AI and HPC communication middleware (NCCL, Open MPI, UCX, UCC, NVSHMEM), and Deep Learning frameworks such as TensorFlow/Pytorch.

  • Review, design, and implement features to enhance compiler features to support the NVIDIA networking ecosystem.

  • Research, design and develop hardware features relevant to scientific, Deep learning, and data-intensive workloads.

What we need to see:

  • A Ph.D. or Master, in computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related field or equivalent experience.

  • 5+ years of experience in parallel programming models, and/or network architecture.

  • Background in algorithm design, system programming, and computer architecture

  • Strong programming and software development skills

  • Ability and flexibility to work and communicate effectively in a multi-national, multi-time-zone corporate environment

  • Deep understanding of technology and passion for what you do

  • Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic matrix environment

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Background with designing communication middleware for high-performance computing systems, including InfiniBand, DPUs, Ethernet, and Shared Memory;

  • Experience developing and implementing features for compilers, optimizations for compilers, particularly Clang/LLVM, and NVIDIA compilers;

  • Experience implementing communications libraries, particularly MPI, OpenSHMEM, NCCL, NVSHMEM, UCX, UCC, or PGAS;

  • Background with CUDA programming and NVIDIA GPUs

  • Programming models for emerging architectures including hierarchical heterogeneous memory systems and accelerators.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
