Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Developer Technology Engineer to focus on GPU-accelerating high-performance databases and ETL applications. The role involves researching new algorithms and optimizing performance for data-intensive applications. The Developer Technology Team collaborates with experts in academia and industry to enhance GPU architectures. This position offers significant visibility and impact within NVIDIA's technology landscape.

Requirements

  • A Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related computationally focused science degree.
  • At least 5+ years of relevant work or research experience.
  • Programming fluency in C/C++ with a deep understanding of algorithms and software design.
  • Hands-on experience with low-level parallel programming, such as CUDA, OpenACC, OpenMP, MPI, pthreads, or TBB.
  • In-depth expertise with CPU/GPU architecture fundamentals, especially memory subsystems.
  • Domain expertise in high-performance databases, ETL, and data analytics.
  • Good communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem solving and prioritization.

Responsibilities

  • Research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate high-performance database and ETL applications.
  • Work directly with technical experts in industry and academia to analyze and optimize complex data-intensive workloads.
  • Influence the design of next-generation hardware architectures, software, and programming models.
  • Collaborate with research, hardware, system software, libraries, and tools teams at NVIDIA.

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.
