  • 7+ years of overall software engineering experience, including 3+ years of technical leadership experience.
  • Proven ability to lead and scale high-performing engineering teams across distributed and cross-functional groups.
  • Strong background in C++ or Python with expertise in software design and delivering production-quality software libraries.
  • Demonstrated expertise in large language models (LLM) and/or vision language models (VLM) and/or inference.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow a team responsible for enhancing the performance of LLM inference across multiple frameworks.
  • Drive the design, implementation, and optimization of key features for LLM inference performance.
  • Continuously improve LLM inference performance on current and upcoming NVIDIA datacenter architectures and GPUs.
  • Work with inference benchmark teams to tune performance for key workloads.
  • Integrate cutting-edge technologies developed at NVIDIA to provide an intuitive developer experience for LLM deployment.
