Time Type Full time

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

We are looking for outstanding AI compiler engineers to join the team and develop groundbreaking technologies in machine learning compilers and AI systems. We build innovative AI compiler solutions that work together with NVIDIA's software stack to provide comprehensive acceleration for modern machine learning models. As a member of the team, you will develop innovative AI compiler technologies for NVIDIA's hardware architecture. You will develop new AI compiler abstractions, developing agentic solutions to accelerate machine learning system engineering, and optimize high-impact machine learning workloads. As part of this role, you will be building a close technical relationship with internal NVIDIA software and hardware teams to push the latest developments to NVIDIA's product.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Innovate and develop new machine learning compiler and systems technologies
• Design, implement, and optimize compilers for high impact AI workloads
