Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Compiler Engineer – HPC role at NVIDIA.

NVIDIA’s HPC compiler group wants to hire a Compiler Developer to join the team building one of the world’s most important optimizing compilers. If you want to be in the driver seat of state‑of‑the‑art compiler development for high‑performance computing, then we want you!

We’re the team implementing C++ Standard Language Parallel Algorithms, OpenACC, and Flang with a keen focus on high‑level optimization for GPUs and CPUs using MLIR and LLVM.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Solve difficult problems at the intersection of compilers, programming models, and high‑performance computing architectures
• Implement new and future OpenACC, OpenMP, and standard language parallelism features for C++, Fortran, and Python for NVIDIA GPUs and multicore CPUs
• Participate in the evolution of standard language parallelism for GPUs and multicore CPUs
• Balance individual effort with teamwork throughout debugging, prototyping, and productization
• Discuss and refine software designs and implementation strategies with peers
• Partner with application teams to investigate interesting and meaningful compilation problems from the HPC community

What We Need To See

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, ECE or equivalent experience
• 6+ years of experience developing production‑quality compilers, tools, or similar software
• Proven understanding of compiler internals including experience targeting auto‑parallelization and GPU targets
• Knowledge of programming fundamentals, especially in C/C++, with a deep understanding of parallel computer architectures and optimizations

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd

• Direct experience with Fortran or GPU programming models is a huge plus
• Experience writing code using Modern C++
• Experience with GPU‑based parallel computingFamiliarity with C++, Fortran, OpenACC, OpenMP, or CUDA compilation
• Real passion for compiler development

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU revolutionized parallel computing. Our GPUs are being used in many of the largest HPC projects worldwide, solving real world problems. Our products are used to build and parallelize the most meaningful scientific applications for weather modeling, climatology, fluid dynamics and defense.
