Senior Deep Learning Software Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Deep Learning Software Engineer to design and build our automated inference and deployment solution. As part of the team, you will be instrumental in defining a scalable architecture for DL inference with emphasis on ease-of-use and compute efficiency. Your work will span multiple layers of the DL deployment stack, encompassing developing features in high-level frameworks like PyTorch and JAX, designing and implementing a high-performance execution environment, low-level GPU optimizations and developing custom GPU kernels in CUDA and/or Triton. This is an exceptional opportunity for passionate software engineers straddling the boundaries of research and engineering, with a strong background in both machine learning fundamentals and software architecture & engineering. What you’ll be doing: Play a pivotal role in defining a modular, scalable platform to seamlessly bridge training and deployment workflows—enabling tight integration of deployment tooling with training frameworks such as Megatron and Nemo. Leverage and build upon the torch 2.0 ecosystem (TorchDynamo, torch.export, torch.compile, etc.) to analyze and extract standardized model graph representation from arbitrary torch models for our automated deployment solution. Develop support for inference optimization techniques such as speculative decoding and LoRA. Collaborate with teams across NVIDIA to use performant kernel implementations within the automated deployment solution. Analyze and profile GPU kernel-level performance to identify hardware and software optimization opportunities. Continuously innovate on the inference performance to ensure NVIDIA's inference software solutions (TRT, TRT-LLM, TRT Model Optimizer) can maintain and increase its leadership in the market. What we need to see: Masters, PhD, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, AI, Applied Math, or related field. 8+ years of relevant work or research experience in Deep Learning. Excellent software design skills, including debugging, performance analysis, and test design. Strong proficiency in Python, PyTorch, and related ML tools. Strong algorithms and programming fundamentals. Good written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. Ways to stand out from the crowd: Contributions to PyTorch, JAX, or other Machine Learning Frameworks. Knowledge of GPU architecture and compilation stack, and capability of understanding and debugging end-to-end performance. Familiarity with NVIDIA's deep learning SDKs such as TensorRT. Prior experience in writing high-performance GPU kernels for machine learning workloads in frameworks such as CUDA, CUTLASS, or Triton. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD. Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 28, 2026. NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes. NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law. #J-18808-Ljbffr NVIDIA Gruppe
