Job summary

NVIDIA in Redmond, WA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Agentic AI High-Performance Code Generation team. You will help design autonomous coding agents, scale distributed systems, and shape evaluation frameworks across the NVIDIA stack.

The role requires a MS in CS or related field, 4+ years building production systems, and strong Python and C++/Rust skills. You will work with cutting-edge tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and CUDA-based performance optimizations.

Qualifications

• MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 4+ years of experience building and maintaining large-scale production systems.
• Proven experience in building coding agents or developing comprehensive agent platforms.
• Direct experience developing skills and workflows using state-of-the-art coding agents and IDEs (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex).
• Proficient in Python and at least one systems programming language (C++ or Rust).
• Strong background in AI evaluation and the ability to design benchmarks for complex, non-deterministic agentic behaviors.
• Experience with distributed systems and orchestration to manage high-throughput AI workloads.

Responsibilities

• Architect Agentic Systems: Lead the design and implementation of sophisticated coding agents and agentic platforms capable of multi-step reasoning, self-correction, and autonomous code generation.
• Scale Distributed Systems: Build and maintain high-performance, large-scale production systems that handle the compute-intensive nature of agentic workflows and AI evaluation.
• Develop Evaluation Frameworks: Create and implement rigorous AI evaluation methodologies to measure the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of generated code and agentic logic.
• Optimize for Performance: Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure agent-generated code and the underlying platforms are optimized for the latest NVIDIA GPU architectures.
• Establish Engineering Standards: Drive best practices for code quality, testing, and deployment within the agentic AI ecosystem to ensure reliable, production-grade output.
