The role requires setting the technical roadmap and fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence. Candidates should be technically strong and capable of driving architectural decisions while managing project planning and resource allocation.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with advanced knowledge in systems software, networking, or distributed systems.
  • 3+ years of direct people management experience.
  • BS, MS, PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Ability to scope a problem, set a plan, and deliver results in a fast-paced R&D environment.
  • Strong communication skills, including public speaking and technical writing.
  • Good understanding of computer architecture, memory hierarchies, DMA engines, and networking.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C, C++, Rust, and Python.
  • Understanding of ML systems concepts, including transformer architectures and distributed training patterns.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop a team of systems and networking engineers building distributed AI communication systems.
  • Set the technical roadmap in partnership with principal engineers and architects.
  • Create a culture of technical excellence and open collaboration.
  • Handle project planning, resource allocation, and delivery timelines across concurrent workstreams.

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.
