The Senior High Performance AI Engineer will focus on developing next-generation agentic AI systems within the CUDA ecosystem. This role involves working across the full AI stack, including model training, agent architecture design, and system optimization. The engineer will collaborate closely with NVIDIA's software, model, and hardware teams to enhance product capabilities. The position requires strong programming skills and experience in AI systems and high-performance computing.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience; MS or PhD preferred.
• 4+ years of relevant industry or academic experience in AI systems, machine learning, compilers, high-performance computing, or related areas.
• Hands-on experience in one or more of the following: agent systems, coding agents, reinforcement learning, or modern AI inference systems.
• Strong C/C++, Rust, and Python programming skills, with solid software engineering fundamentals.
• Experience with GPU programming and performance optimization using CUDA or comparable accelerator platforms.

• Design, build, and optimize agentic AI systems for the CUDA ecosystem, including agent architectures and multi-agent workflows.
• Build the data, environments, verification, reward, and evaluation systems needed to continuously improve model and agent capabilities.
• Co-design and optimize agentic systems across NVIDIA's software and hardware stack, from models and inference through compilers, runtimes, libraries, kernels, and GPUs.

• 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.
