You will investigate complex performance problems and deliver robust solutions that accelerate applications.

Evangelize, architect, and implement new features

Oversee and drive development efforts across multiple teams

Analyze full stack performance ranging from application level through libraries, system software, kernel software and hardware

Define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model

Create novel system software optimizations

Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested code

Develop code for multiple operating systems

What we need to see:

BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)

7+ years of related development experience

Strong C programming skills

Experience working with large codebases

Track record of debugging performance problems in complex environments with software and hardware components

Experience with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory

Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs

Deep understanding of technology and passionate about what you do

Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic matrix environment. Good written communication.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO

Experience with performance tuning of device drivers or low level system software

Experience with performance optimizations across a variety of CPU architectures - like x86, POWER and ARM

Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models

Experience with Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, and are interested in working on novel problems in a collaborative environment, we want to hear from you!
