Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Engineer to lead the deployment of advanced AI agent frameworks and local runtimes on Windows and GeForce RTX GPUs. You will guide the development so open-source agents like Nemoclaw and OpenClaw operate locally, safely, and efficiently on consumer PCs.

By combining strong local inference with privacy routers and sandboxed execution, you will help build the desktop AI operating system foundation and collaborate with internal teams and the OpenClaw community.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in Staff or Lead Architect roles.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent).
• Deep understanding of Windows OS internals, process isolation, sandboxing technologies, and system-level security architecture.
• Proven understanding of LLM inference pipelines (Ollama, Llama.cpp, vLLM), CUDA/TensorRT, and experience running local models on consumer-grade hardware.
• Practical experience with modern AI orchestration and agentic frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes, LangChain) and an understanding of multi-agent systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead the engineering efforts to deploy AI agent frameworks natively on Windows environments and define the technical roadmap for always-on AI assistants on GeForce RTX PCs.
• Mentor engineers, establish deployment guidelines, and write reliable, production-ready code.
• Collaborate with AI research teams, driver teams, and OpenClaw community to ensure a robust ecosystem for autonomous agents.
• Oversee policy-based privacy and security frameworks, including filesystem access, secure inference routing, and network egress.
