What you’ll be doing:
Design services and take ownership of underlying cloud infrastructure for physics informed and data driven scientific workflows
Design novel algorithms and actively engage with operations to increase overall system performance, it spans across the stack e.g. deep understanding of application code e.g DL Framework, Numerical Solvers, Microservices, APIs and Heterogeneous accelerated computing with CPUs and GPUs.
Design, Build, Deploy and Operate scalable I/O infrastructure for checkpointing, data loading, pre & post processing of data.
Optimize compute, storage and network architecture specific to physics & simulation driven applications.
What we need to see:
BS/MS degree in Computer Science or related areas or equivalent experience.
10+ years experience working on building and operating distributed compute and data intensive platform as a service on cloud
Proven skill in a compiled language (Go, Rust, C++ or otherwise).
Strong foundational knowledge in Cloud Computing e.g “The Datacenter is a Computer” architecture, cloud security architecture, virtualization - CPU, Memory and IO, Resource pooling and elasticity.
Proven skills in Distributed Systems & Parallel Processing e.g System model of distributed computation e.g. topology abstraction, logical time. Synchronization and deadlock detection in distributed systems, Fault Tolerance and Failure Detection, Consensus and Agreement protocols, Parallel algorithms, shared memory and distributed memory architecture, message passing (MPI, NCCL), Cluster scalability and performance.
Hands on Debugging skills with Process, Threads , Deadlock and Synchronization, Scheduling, IPC, Memory management, File system and I/O structure.
Strong Evidence on Algorithmic Thinking & System Design skills e.g Recursion, Graph, Tree, Stack and Queue, Large scale loosely coupled distributed system design and operational experience.
Be self-motivated, have strong interpersonal skills, and be able to work independently with multiple teams with minimal direction.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Have built , deployed and operated AI platforms on HPC clusters. Have built, deployed and operated cloud native system including distributed storage, scheduling, and orchestration among compute, storage and network
Configuring and troubleshooting hardware, operating systems, kernel, compilers for maximum performance
Hands on debugging skills to optimize performance of compute, networking and I/O framework. Extensively worked on third party source code for debugging and customization

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.”
