  • Partner with global compiler, GPU driver, architecture, and application teams to coordinate improvements and problem resolutions.
  • Seek interesting and meaningful compilation problems for state-of-the-art GPU technologies.
  • Contribute to open-source projects (LLVM, DXC - HLSL compiler).
  • Propose, design, and implement SPIR-V extensions, represent NVIDIA in Khronos.
  • Participate and contribute to the future of SPIR-V as a standard graphics interchange format.
What We Need To See
  • BS/MS in Computer Science or Computer Engineering (PhD strongly preferred) or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years of experience and strong background in compilers.
  • Strong C/C++ programming skills, as well as a deep understanding of parallel programming models.
  • Experience with compiler optimizations, especially working with LLVM infrastructure.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
  • Experience developing CUDA, DirectX, OpenGL/Vulkan applications
  • Background with developing compiler optimizations and code generation for GPUs.
  • Ability to do code generation and building a good compiler framework.

With highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology industry's most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and hardworking people in the world working with us and our product lines are growing fast in some of the hottest state of the art fields such as Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and Autonomous Vehicles.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 170,000 CAD - 220,000 CAD for Level 4, and 225,000 CAD - 275,000 CAD for Level 5.
