Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Software Engineer to join its US-based networking software team, focusing on AI networking systems. The role involves leading technical engagements and influencing NVIDIA's networking technologies. The engineer will work closely with internal teams to transform customer needs into product features and improve performance and reliability. This position offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in the industry.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related science degree.
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience, including technical leadership across complex systems.
  • Deep knowledge of networking protocols and distributed systems, with a strong understanding of RoCE/InfiniBand and performance/latency tradeoffs.
  • Proven low-level software expertise with proficiency in C/C++ and debugging across firmware, driver, OS, and application.
  • Demonstrated experience in high-performance networking and system-level debugging.

Responsibilities

  • Establish yourself as a technical specialist in AI networking products, specifically the BlueField DPU and ConnectX product lines.
  • Architect, design, and develop innovative, scalable, and high-performance hardware-accelerated software solutions.
  • Lead deep technical engagements with hyperscalers, involving design-in, coding, bring-up, performance tuning, failure analysis, and production hardening.
  • Partner with internal engineering, product, and architecture teams to transform customer needs into product features and guidelines.
  • Drive performance, reliability, and debuggability improvements across customer stacks.

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.
