NVIDIA is seeking a senior systems software engineer to enhance its compute software stack on NVIDIA CPU platforms. The role involves leading cross-stack engineering efforts to improve toolchains, build practices, and performance workflows. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to validate new capabilities and resolve integration issues. This position offers a broad scope to adapt as the team identifies key opportunities for improvement.

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of relevant systems software engineering experience.
• Strong C and C++ development, debugging, and code-review skills.
• Strong Linux systems knowledge and hands-on experience with complex native software stacks.
• Practical experience with GCC or LLVM/Clang, linkers, compiler options, and build systems.
• Experience working in large, multi-component codebases and CI environments.
• Experience with performance profiling, root-cause analysis, and before-and-after validation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and a record of effective cross-team collaboration.

• Lead toolchain, build, code-health, and performance-workflow adoption projects across large software components.
• Evaluate and deploy supported GCC and LLVM/Clang toolchains, compiler options, linkers, sysroots, and cross-compilation configurations.
• Integrate modern toolchains and workflows into complex build systems and continuous-integration environments.
• Establish useful Clang diagnostic builds and targeted sanitizer coverage in partnership with component owners.
• Use profiling, PMU data, flamegraphs, and binary/source analysis to identify actionable performance and code-quality findings.
• Build automation, wrappers, validation scripts, dashboards, and migration helpers to improve adoption and repeatability.
• Drive complex blockers to the appropriate compiler, runtime, library, infrastructure, or component owner.
• Document validated approaches as reusable playbooks for other engineering teams.
• Communicate technical results and tradeoffs clearly to engineers and leadership.

• 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.
