Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking an outstanding Senior Compiler Engineer to advance intelligent compiler technologies for its accelerated computing stack. You will help design, build, and optimize compiler systems that reason about low-level IR, code generation, and performance across GPU workloads.

You will collaborate with CUDA, libraries, runtimes, and hardware teams to deploy robust verification and validation pipelines, ensuring numerical correctness and scalable performance in production environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience; MS or PhD preferred.
• 5+ years of relevant industry or academic 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 in 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; experience with 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 the data, environments, verification, reward, and evaluation systems needed 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.
