Senior AI-Native Systems Software Engineer, TensorRT

Are you passionate about redefining how software is built in the age of Generative AI? Join NVIDIA’s TensorRT team to help lead a first-of-its-kind, AI-native initiative designed to make TensorRT the default entry point for out-of-framework inference globally. We are moving beyond traditional development cycles with a new framework built from the ground up to leverage swarms of AI agents to produce high-performance, high-quality, modern C++ software at an unprecedented scale. If you are a systems‑thinking C++ engineer who wants to help scale out an agentic development framework, stay on top of state‑of‑the‑art deep learning breakthroughs, and improve users’ experience with lightning‑fast model onboarding, we want to hear from you! What you’ll be doing: Architecting an AI-native framework: Help design and build a codebase and architecture that scales beyond human capacity, supporting large numbers of AI agents working in parallel to generate, test, and validate production‑grade software. Scaling through agentic workflows: Improve the ratio of compute‑to‑software output by adopting and building AI-native tools, multi‑agent orchestrators, and codebase harnesses that keep humans focused on the highest‑value work. Rapid prototyping with SOTA models: Act as a technical scout, identifying industry and academic breakthroughs (e.g., new attention mechanisms, KV cache strategies) and dispatching AI agent swarms to prototype and integrate these capabilities into our framework. Delivering a great user experience: Ensure a seamless, high-performance path to production for the latest model families (LLMs, Diffusion, Audio, Vision and multi‑modal models). Extreme performance optimization: Work at the intersection of Python orchestration and C++ engine‑level optimizations to achieve major latency and throughput gains for critical customer use cases. What we need to see: BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI, or equivalent experience. 4+ years of relevant software development experience. Strong modern C++ skills: Proficiency with C++11/14/17 (or newer) and the STL, with an emphasis on clean, maintainable, performant code. Deep learning familiarity: Experience with modern inference frameworks and an understanding of the architectural nuances of LLMs, Diffusion, and multi‑modal models. Systems thinking: Interest in how software architecture must evolve to support automated, agent‑driven development and indefinitely scaling codebases. End‑to‑end product sense: Ability to translate high‑level customer needs into concrete technical requirements and user‑centric solutions. Pragmatic execution: Demonstrated ability to go from customer requests to production‑quality software on tight timelines. Collaborative mindset: Excellent communication skills and comfort working across internal organizations and with customers. Ways to stand out from the crowd: Agentic framework experience: Hands‑on work with AI agent orchestrators or multi‑agent coding frameworks, or experience building custom agentic coding harnesses for production software. CUDA & kernel expertise: Experience with CUDA programming or exposure to kernel generation / autotuning efforts. High‑velocity prototyping: A track record of rapidly turning state‑of‑the‑art papers into working prototypes in days, not weeks. Performance profiling skills: Expertise in software performance analysis, profiling, and optimization (CPU and/or GPU), including using tooling to drive measurable wins. Compensation and Benefits: Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 25, 2026 . Equal Opportunity NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
