Full-time

NVIDIA is hiring a Senior High Performance AI Engineer

About the Role

Join NVIDIA as a Senior High Performance AI Engineer to build groundbreaking multi-agent systems for the CUDA ecosystem. You will develop new agent abstractions, GPU-centric runtimes, and compiler- or runtime-driven system solutions to accelerate agent planning, tool-use, code generation, and other high-impact AI workloads.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build and optimize agentic AI systems for the CUDA ecosystem.
  • Co-design agentic system solutions with software, hardware and algorithm teams; influence and adopt new capabilities as they become available.
  • Develop reproducible, high-fidelity evaluation frameworks covering performance, quality and developer productivity.
  • Collaborate across the AI stack—from hardware through compilers/toolchains, kernels/libraries, frameworks, distributed training, and inference/serving—and with model/agent teams.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of industry or academia experience with AI systems development
  • Exposure to building foundational models, agents or orchestration frameworks
  • Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks and modern inference stacks
  • Strong C/C++ and Python programming skills
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals
  • Experience with GPU programming and performance optimization (CUDA or equivalent)

Nice to Have

  • MS or PhD preferred
  • Track record building/evaluating deep learning models, coding agents and developer tooling
  • Demonstrated ability to optimize and deploy high-performance models, including on resource-constrained platforms
  • Deep expertise in GPU performance optimizations, evidenced by benchmark wins or published results
  • Publications or open-source leadership in deep learning, multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, or AI systems; contributions to widely used repos or standards

Technical Stack

  • C/C++
  • Python
  • CUDA
  • Deep learning frameworks

Benefits & Compensation

  • Compensation: $148,000 USD - $235,750 USD for Level 3, and $184,000 USD - $287,500 USD for Level 4
  • Equity
  • Generous benefits package
