Job Description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for its Autonomous Vehicle Mapping backend and services team. The role involves developing cloud and backend services, managing complex data pipelines, and collaborating with various engineering teams to create high-quality maps for self-driving cars.

Requirements

  • Proven experience building large-scale software systems and cloud services.
  • BS/MS degree in Computer science or related areas (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in the related field.
  • Strong programming in C++, Java, Python, and/or Go.
  • Engineering excellence with good design abstractions, API stability, unit testing, leading best practices for other engineers to follow, and solid documentation.
  • Have worked with both relational (SQL) and distributed database technologies.
  • Background with Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, and stream-based integration patterns such as Apache Flink.
  • Strive to learn, solve, and own hard problems end to end.
  • Good communication and analytical skills with ability to work with multiple teams and priorities.
  • Great team player but an independent self-starter.

Responsibilities

  • Developing microservice-based architecture to support mapping algorithms processing endless data streams in NVIDIA GPU data centers and public cloud.
  • Writing robust APIs that stores, queries, and retrieves PBs data.
  • Enabling services distributing maps for autonomous driving to millions of autonomous vehicles in real-time.
  • Collaborating with other engineering teams within Nvidia mapping including algorithms, client and validation.
  • Supporting operations of mapping services.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
