What you'll be doing:

  • Build innovative features for NVIDIA's GPU profiling tools from inception to execution

  • Incorporate new hardware profiling capabilities into tools and workflows

  • Work independently based on high-level requirements, filling in build details and making sound engineering decisions

  • Collaborate with architects, performance engineers, and other software teams to understand requirements and deliver solutions

  • Improve and maintain a large, evolving codebase with high standards for quality and reliability

What we need to see :

  • B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

  • 3 years or more experience writing production software in Python and C+

  • Proven foundation in computer architecture and performance analysis

  • Experience in parallel programming or accelerated computing

  • Track record of building tools or infrastructure for other engineers, with a strong sense of what makes a great developer experience

  • Up to date with the latest software engineering practices including AI-enabled development tooling

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Contributions to open-source performance analysis tooling

  • Experience as a user or creator of CPU or GPU profiling tools

  • Experience in GPU computing or accelerated computing platforms

  • Background with building software tools on top of hardware capabilities

  • Familiarity with AI workloads and their performance characteristics

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 124,000 USD - 195,500 USD for Level 2, and 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3.
