Job description

NVIDIA is seeking an experienced Compiler Infrastructure Engineer to join the Compute Compiler Team. This role focuses on aligning NVIDIA's compiler codebases with open-source ecosystems and enhancing developer productivity. The position involves working at the intersection of open-source compiler development and internal infrastructure. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in modernizing tools and workflows to ensure NVIDIA remains a leader in scalable and community-driven compiler technology.

Requirements

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with open-source compiler frameworks.
  • Excellent hands-on C++ programming skills.
  • 3+ years of experience working with large-scale, long-lived codebases.
  • Solid understanding of compiler internals, including IRs, passes, build systems, and toolchains.
  • Familiarity with source-control–heavy workflows.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with an emphasis on robust developer infrastructure.
  • Good communication and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

  • Reconcile and synchronize downstream compiler codebases with open-source repositories.
  • Lead efforts to restructure, merge, or retire internal code to reduce divergence from upstream projects.
  • Design and build infrastructure, tooling, and developer workflows that improve productivity.
  • Develop automation and developer tools to aid in rebasing, patch management, and validation.
  • Explore and apply AI-assisted tools to improve developer workflows.
  • Partner with compiler developers and CI/test infrastructure teams to ensure scalable changes.
  • Serve as a technical bridge between internal compiler development and open-source ecosystems.

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.
