Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Compiler Engineer to advance GPU systems programming with Rust. You will design and implement Rust-to-GPU backends, IR frameworks, and JIT pipelines that enable memory-safe, high-performance kernels across NVIDIA GPUs.

You will work on compiler IRs (MLIR, PTX/LLVM), optimize ahead-of-time and JIT workflows, and define safe parallel abstractions that extend Rust across the GPU boundary. Equity and comprehensive benefits accompany this role.

Qualifications

Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of compiler development, language design, or GPU code generation.
Deep expertise in Rust including MIR, procedural macros, and borrow-checker model.
Hands-on experience with IRs and code generation (LLVM IR, MLIR, or similar).
Strong knowledge of parallel programming models and CUDA.
Ability to lead complex compiler-engineering efforts from research to production.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain Rust-to-GPU backends and Rust-native IR frameworks.
Build compiler IRs and optimizers for MLIR, PTX, and LLVM with GPU-specific tweaks.
Support ahead-of-time, JIT, and link-time workflows across NVIDIA GPUs.
Define safe parallel abstractions that extend Rust across the GPU boundary.
Expose device-side abstractions for shared memory, barriers, and Tensor Memory Accelerator.
Collaborate across teams to evolve compiler pipelines and tooling.
