Senior Manager, Software Engineering - JAX

NVIDIA • Santa Clara, CA • 3h ago

JAX is the framework of choice for the most ambitious AI research, and the datacenters it runs on are evolving fast. NVIDIA supercomputers are becoming more heterogeneous combining GPUs, CPUs, and LPUs, and JAX needs to evolve to perform well across all of them. NVIDIA seeks a Senior Engineering Manager to define and drive NVIDIA's JAX strategy, coordinating multiple teams and workstreams to ensure JAX delivers peak performance across the platform, from single-accelerator workloads to hundreds of thousands of devices on the largest supercomputers ever built.

A critical part of this role is ensuring JAX is ready on next-generation architectures, including Rubin Ultra, LPUs, and the CPUs that drive them, from day one. Doing that well requires keeping up with where AI is heading. This means supporting emerging needs across training, post-training, inference, and robotics, bridging new hardware capabilities with AI trends. Come join us to build the team and technology behind the next AI breakthroughs.

What you will be doing:

Drive the engineering contribution strategy across the JAX ecosystem stack - including JAX core, XLA, Shardy, MPMD, and application-level codebases like MaxText - prioritizing where NVIDIA's contributions create maximum impact on performance, adoption, and ecosystem influence

Promote teamwork across organizational boundaries to shape NVIDIA's AI platform across compiler (XLA, TileIR, CUDA), runtime, networking, and hardware teams

Build deep partnerships with key open-source projects, especially Google's JAX team - supporting our partners while representing NVIDIA's interests in shaping the project's direction

Design processes and define clear success criteria to keep teams aligned to outcomes

Build staffing plans, review team capacity, and make strategic hiring decisions to stay ahead of current and future needs

Lead, grow, and mentor a high-performing engineering organization - developing technical leaders and creating space for your team to experiment, proto@type, and build innovative systems that improve products and processes

What we need to see:

MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

10+ overall years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years in engineering management or technical leadership

Strong technical background in system software, compilers, high-performance computing, or AI frameworks

Proven experience leading domain-level strategy and projects that span organizational boundaries, building consensus, influencing without direct authority, and tailoring communication to the audience from engineers to executives

Track record of owning outcomes across multiple projects and teams, balancing trade-offs, and driving progress with incomplete information

Experience identifying development cycle gaps and defining workflows across teams and organizations to improve efficiency

Experience leading teams that contribute to large-scale projects with external collaborators

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Hands-on experience with JAX and its systems like XLA, HLO, PJRT, Shardy, or JAX's tracing and transformation system

Experience leading teams working on compiler or runtime infrastructure for deep learning frameworks (JAX, PyTorch, TensorFlow or equivalent)

Familiarity with NVIDIA's AI platform components: GPU programming, CUDA, cuDNN, NCCL, TensorRT, Transformer Engine and heterogeneous compute targets (GPU, CPU, LPU)

Experience driving performance optimization efforts for large-scale distributed AI training, post-training (RLHF, alignment), inference, or robotics workloads (multi-node, multi-GPU)

Experience driving framework or software bring-up on new hardware architectures, coordinating across silicon, driver, compiler, and framework teams

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/benefits/) .

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 10, 2026.
