This role involves collaborating with global teams to innovate and push technical boundaries. The successful candidate will lead the development of features that deliver a seamless and personalized experience for employees. This position offers an opportunity to make a significant impact within a diverse and encouraging environment.

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, other Engineering or related fields or equivalent experience.
  • 15+ years of full-stack product engineering experience, including 3+ years at the principal or staff level guiding cross-functional teams.
  • Proven track record delivering consumer-grade web and/or mobile experiences at scale.
  • Expertise in search, recommendation, or applied-AI systems.
  • Hands-on experience with modern cloud infrastructure, K8s, and automated CI/CD.
  • Strong data-modeling skills with relational and NoSQL stores.
  • Fluency in application security.
  • Excellent mentoring skills and ability to set vision.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and code end-to-end features that power a seamless, AI-rich employee experience across web and native mobile apps.
  • Architect highly performant services and UIs that surface personalized content, knowledge, and search results to a global workforce.
  • Embed LLM and vector-search capabilities into existing product surfaces, driving relevance and continuous learning loops.
  • Own system design reviews, code reviews, and technical roadmaps while mentoring engineers across the team.
  • Integrate third-party HRIS, collaboration, and productivity platforms to create cohesive, automated user journeys.
  • Champion modern front-end patterns and cloud-native back-end practices.
  • Instrument robust observability, tracing, structured logging, and SLA dashboards to ensure reliability.
  • Uphold security, privacy, and accessibility standards across all user journeys.

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.
