Job description
NVIDIA's GPU Architecture Group is looking for a senior software engineer to enhance and automate performance analysis workflows for AI training and inference workloads. The role involves designing tools and workflows that cater to a diverse group of engineers while pushing the boundaries of AI workload optimization. You will work closely with performance engineers, hardware architects, and software teams to ensure that profiling capabilities meet real-world demands. This position offers the opportunity to reshape performance analysis methodologies in a leading AI environment.
Requirements
- M.S. or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 6+ years of relevant work experience.
- Deep knowledge of AI workloads, frameworks, and performance characteristics.
- Experience building tools, workflows, or infrastructure used by other engineers.
- Strong software development skills, preferably in Python and C++.
- Ability to translate user requirements into scalable tooling solutions.
- Up to date with AI-enabled tooling for software development and performance analysis.
- Strong interpersonal skills for understanding engineer difficulties and collaborating across multi-functional teams.
Responsibilities
- Design and build performance analysis tools and workflows for AI training and inference workloads.
- Understand how AI performance engineers work and translate their needs into scalable, intuitive tooling.
- Develop integrations between profiling infrastructure and AI frameworks and workflows.
- Collaborate with performance engineers, hardware architects, and software teams to ensure profiling capabilities align with real-world AI workloads.
- Identify performance bottlenecks in AI workloads and develop automated approaches to detect and diagnose them.
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.
