Job description

Solutions Architect, Data Processing - New College Graduate 2025

Would you enjoy researching new algorithms and memory management techniques to accelerate databases on modern computer architectures? Do you like investigating hardware and system bottlenecks, and optimizing performance of data intensive applications? Are you excited about the opportunity to work on the top tier edge of technology with both visibility and impact to the success of a leader like NVIDIA? If so, the Solution Architecture Team invites you to consider this opportunity.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human imagination and intelligence. Join our team with varied strengths today!

What you will be doing:

In this role, you will research and develop techniques to GPU-accelerate high performance database, ETL and data analytics applications.

Work directly with other technical experts in their fields (industry and academia) to perform in-depth analysis and optimization of complex data intensive workloads to ensure the best possible performance of current GPU architectures.

Influence the design of next-generation hardware architectures, software, and programming models in collaboration with research, hardware, system software, libraries, and tools teams at NVIDIA

Influence partners (industry and academia) to push the bounds of data processing with NVIDIA’s full product line

What we need to see:

Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related computationally focused science degree or equivalent experience.

Programming fluency in C/C++ with a deep understanding of algorithms and software design.

Hands-on experience with low-level parallel programming, e.g. CUDA (preferred), OpenACC, OpenMP, MPI, pthreads, TBB, etc.

In-depth expertise with CPU/GPU architecture fundamentals, especially memory subsystem.

Domain expertise in high performance databases, ETL, data analytics and/or vector database.

Good communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem solving, and prioritization skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Experience optimizing/implementing database operators or query planner, especially for parallel or distributed frameworks (e.g. production database or Spark).

Experience optimizing vector database index build and/or search.

Experience profiling and optimizing CUDA kernels.

Background with compression, storage systems, networking, and distributed computer architectures.

Data Analytics is one of the rapidly growing fields in GPU accelerated computing. Data preprocessing and data engineering are traditionally CPU based and are becoming the bottleneck for Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) applications, as performance of the frameworks and core ML/DL libraries has been highly optimized leveraging GPUs. Many of today’s applications have complex data analytics pipelines that can benefit from optimizations in memory management, compression, parallel algorithms like sort, search, join, aggregation, groupby, scaling up to multi GPU systems, and scaling out to many nodes. Take a look at some of the open-source projects that NVIDIA employees have worked on: RAPIDS cuDF , NVIDIA nvcomp , NVIDIA Distributed join , NVIDIA cuCollections . NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and dedicated people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you.

The base salary range is 120,000 USD - 235,750 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
