NVIDIA is hiring a Senior Software Engineer - Distributed Inference

NVIDIA is looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Distributed Inference to build and maintain critical user-facing tools for our Dynamo Inference Server. This role focuses on developing distributed model management systems that power large-scale AI inference workloads, collaborating closely with infrastructure engineers and researchers.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain distributed model management systems, including Rust-based runtime components, for large-scale AI inference workloads.
• Implement inference scheduling and deployment solutions on Kubernetes and Slurm, driving advances in scaling, orchestration, and resource management.
• Collaborate with infrastructure engineers and researchers to develop scalable APIs, services, and end-to-end inference workflows.
• Create monitoring, benchmarking, automation, and documentation processes to ensure low-latency, robust, and production-ready inference systems on GPU clusters.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, ECE, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 6+ years of professional systems software development experience.
• Strong programming expertise in Rust (with C++, Python as a plus).
• Deep knowledge of distributed systems, runtime orchestration, and cluster-scale services.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container-based microservices, and integration with Slurm.
• Proven ability to excel in fast-paced R&D environments and collaborate across functions.

Nice to Have

• Experience with inference-serving frameworks (e.g., Dynamo Inference Server, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime) and deploying/managing LLM inference pipelines at scale.
• Contributions to large-scale, low-latency distributed systems (open-source preferred) with proven expertise in high-availability infrastructure.
• Strong background in GPU inference performance tuning, CUDA-based systems, and operating across cloud-native and hybrid environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).

Technical Stack

• Languages: Rust, C++, Python
• Orchestration: Kubernetes, Slurm
• Frameworks: Dynamo Inference Server, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, CUDA
• Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure

Team & Environment

You will join a GPU-accelerated deep learning software team.
