The Senior Software Engineer role focuses on building and optimizing local runtimes and agent frameworks for autonomous AI on Windows and NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs. The position requires a hands-on individual contributor to enhance open-source AI agents, ensuring they run efficiently and securely on consumer PCs. The engineer will work closely with internal teams and the open-source community to create a robust desktop AI operating system. This deeply technical role emphasizes performance optimization, security, and cross-team collaboration.

• 12+ years of relevant professional software engineering experience with a track record of shipping performance-critical systems.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field or equivalent experience.
• Hands-on experience with LLM inference pipelines, GPU-accelerated computing, and running local models on consumer-grade hardware.
• Practical experience with modern agentic frameworks and a working understanding of multi-agent systems.
• Strong understanding of Windows OS internals, process isolation, sandboxing technologies, and system-level security.
• Proficiency in C++, Python, and TypeScript.
• Ability to translate complex technical decisions into clear documentation and collaborate effectively across diverse engineering teams.

• Optimize performance of local LLMs on GeForce RTX hardware and minimize latency and memory footprint using TensorRT and CUDA.
• Build and optimize agentic harnesses to run natively and reliably on Windows.
• Implement policy-based privacy and security frameworks for autonomous agents.
• Integrate agent and inference stacks with NVIDIA's driver and middleware layers to extract maximum performance from RTX GPUs.
• Partner with internal AI research teams, driver teams, and the open-source community to enhance consumer hardware for local agents.
• Write reliable, production-ready code and contribute to engineering best practices.

• 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.
