Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Scientist to enhance capabilities in synthetic data generation for training large language models. This role involves contributing to the NVIDIA NeMo ecosystem and collaborating with various teams to advance multimodal synthetic data generation. The position combines software engineering with applied research, focusing on generative methods. The ideal candidate will also mentor junior researchers and publish original research to maintain NVIDIA's technical leadership.

Requirements

  • PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • A research background of 3+ years in synthetic data generation, generative modeling, multimodal machine learning, or related areas.
  • Deep technical understanding of LLMs and their pre- and post-training processes.
  • Proven track record of developing or maintaining software libraries used by a broad developer community.
  • Strong publication record at premier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL or similar.

Responsibilities

  • Build synthetic data generation pipelines using LLM-based methods and automated quality evaluation.
  • Advance multimodal synthetic data generation in partnership with NVIDIA's model teams.
  • Design and maintain open-source libraries and SDKs with clean APIs and strong documentation.
  • Drive software excellence with modern tooling and architecture based on configuration.
  • Publish original research at top machine learning and AI conferences.
  • Mentor interns and junior researchers to develop technical growth within the team.

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.
