Senior Software Engineer

Role Description

We are looking for a Software Engineer to help build the next generation of AI‑driven developer and robotics workflows at NVIDIA. In this role, you will contribute to the design and implementation of integration solutions across cloud, AI coding agents, and robotics platforms, working closely with expert engineers. If you are excited by modern AI, robotics systems, and proven engineering practices—and enjoy learning, exploratory environments—this role is a phenomenal fit. We are the team that connects the dots across NVIDIA’s software stack, from cloud services and AI agents to robotics platforms. We design and build the tooling and integrations that power modern, AI‑assisted development workflows and robotic applications. If you like working at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, and real‑world systems, and enjoy turning complex problems into simple, robust solutions, you’ll feel at home here.

• Software Development: Implement features and services across the stack (back‑end, cloud, tooling), writing clean, maintainable code and contributing to design discussions.
• AI Coding Agents & Developer Workflows: Help build and iterate on AI‑assisted development workflows (e.g., code generation, refactoring, automation in CI/CD), and experiment with powerful coding agents in real engineering use cases.
• Cloud‑Native Services: Develop and operate services on Kubernetes using Helm and major cloud provider APIs (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Robotics & Simulation (Preferred): Collaborate with robotics and simulation teams to integrate services and tools into robotics workflows; learn and, where applicable, extend platforms such as Isaac or ROS.
• Engineering Excellence: Follow good engineering practices around testing, code review, documentation, observability, and reliability, and contribute to improving them over time.
• Collaboration & Learning: Work closely with teammates across cloud, AI, and robotics, ask questions, share knowledge, and continuously expand your skills.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). Ideally building or integrating distributed or cloud‑based systems.
• 8+ years of experience with programming in Python and/or C++.
• Understanding of core software design principles and APIs.
• Exposure to cloud‑native development (containers, Kubernetes, Helm, or similar technologies).
• AI Agents & Developer Tools: Demonstrated interest in AI coding agents, LLM‑powered tools, or modern AI‑assisted development workflows (personal projects, coursework, or professional experience).
• Robotics (Preferred): Interest in robotics, simulation, or autonomous systems; any hands‑on experience with robotics platforms, middleware (e.g., ROS), or NVIDIA robotics stacks is a plus.
• Engineering Practices: Familiarity with unit and integration testing, code reviews, CI/CD, and basic monitoring/observability concepts.
• Collaboration and communication skills; comfortable working with multi-functional partners.

Requirements

• Practical experience building or integrating robotics systems (on‑device software, simulation, perception, control, or fleet tools).
• Experience designing or deploying AI coding agents or LLM‑based developer tools (e.g., plugins, internal tools, research prototypes).
• Contributions to open‑source projects, technical blogs, talks, or coursework in relevant domains (AI, cloud, robotics, developer tooling).
• Experience in high‑performance computing, such as CUDA programming, GPU acceleration, or optimizing large‑scale workloads on NVIDIA platforms.

Benefits

• Highly competitive salaries.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.
• Eligible for equity and benefits.
