NVIDIA is seeking a Raytracing Compiler Engineer to join their international engineering team. This role focuses on guiding the design and implementation of a new LLVM-based backend JIT compiler for NVIDIA GPUs. The engineer will work closely with global compiler, hardware, and application teams to enhance compiler performance and resolve issues. This position offers the opportunity to influence new GPU architectures and apply cutting-edge compiler technologies.

Requirements

  • B.S. or higher degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 12+ years of compiler development experience, including 3+ years of experience in LLVM with a focus on code generation.
  • Expertise in LLVM code generation, including instruction scheduling, software pipelining, and register allocation.
  • Proficient in compiler design and performance analysis tools.
  • Excellent hands-on C++ programming skills applied to industry standard C++ compilers and development frameworks.
  • Strong background in software engineering principles for crafting robust and maintainable solutions.
  • Good communication and documentation skills and self-motivated.

Responsibilities

  • Guide the design and implementation of a new LLVM-based backend JIT compiler targeting NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Design and develop new compiler passes and optimizations to meet high-performance and low compilation time requirements.
  • Work with global compiler, hardware, and application teams to oversee improvements and problem resolutions.
  • Apply and adapt the latest compiler technologies to produce robust and supportable compilers and tools.
  • Influence and work on new GPU architectures.

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.
