Senior Build Engineer - CUDA Driver and Libraries

Our work at NVIDIA is dedicated towards a computing model focused on visual and AI computing. For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics, with our invention of the GPU. The GPU has also shown to be spectacularly effective at solving some of the most complex problems in computer science. Today, NVIDIA’s GPU simulates human intelligence, running deep learning algorithms and acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. We are looking to grow our company and teams with the smartest people in the world and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team! NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform is the foundation of modern HPC and AI. At the core of this platform are the CUDA Driver, CUDA Toolkit and CUDA Core Libraries—C++ and Python libraries that enable developers to write fast, reliable, scalable GPU-accelerated software and the Legate libraries that accelerate multi-GPU workflows. We are looking for an outstanding build engineer to contribute to the build, testing, packaging and developer experience to accelerate development.. This includes projects like the CUDA driver, CUDA toolkit, CCCL (Thrust, CUB, libcudacxx), cuda-python, numba-cuda, Legate and cuPyNumeric. Join the team that builds, tests and packages the foundational libraries, algorithms, language and compiler infrastructure that make CUDA a speed of light delight for developers across a wide range of workloads including deep learning, scientific computing, HPC, and data analytics.
