Job summary

NVIDIA Corporation in the United States seeks a Senior Compiler Engineer to advance intelligent compiler technologies across GPU-focused workloads. You will design and build compiler and verification systems, enabling high performance and correctness across software and hardware boundaries.

Responsibilities include building low-level IR tooling, code generation, optimization passes, and numerical validation, collaborating with CUDA, libraries, runtimes, and hardware teams to deploy

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field; MS or PhD preferred
• 5+ years of relevant experience in compilers, AI systems, numerical computing, verification, HPC, or related areas
• Strong hands-on experience in compiler implementation, program analysis, code generation, optimization, low-level performance engineering, or correctness infrastructure
• Experience with agent systems, coding agents, compiler automation, numerical analysis, program verification, differential testing, or formal/semi-formal validation methods
• Strong C/C++ and Python programming skills, with solid software engineering fundamentals; Rust is a plus
• Experience with GPU programming and performance optimization using CUDA or comparable accelerator platforms
• Ability to work effectively across system boundaries, from model-driven workflows and compiler infrastructure to runtime and hardware-aware optimization

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and optimize intelligent low-level compiler systems, including compiler-oriented agents, multi-step transformation workflows, tool use, memory, and orchestration
• Develop systems that can reason about low-level IR, code generation, optimization passes, scheduling, numerical precision, and performance tradeoffs across GPU-centric workloads
• Build data, environments, verification, reward, and evaluation systems to continuously improve compiler quality, numerical correctness, robustness, and performance
• Develop infrastructure for numerical validation, differential testing, regression detection, and correctness verification for generated or transformed code
• Co-design compiler and verification workflows across NVIDIA's software stack, spanning models and inference, compiler pipelines, runtimes, libraries, kernels, and GPUs
• Collaborate closely with internal compiler, CUDA, library, runtime, and hardware teams to integrate new compiler, agentic, and verification capabilities into NVIDIA products
• Drive performance analysis and optimization for generated or transformed code, with a strong focus on correctness, scalability, and real-world deployment
