System-level development
Performance engineering
Help build an Always-On, low-overhead GPU profiling service that runs in production, scales across cluster environments, and delivers actionable insights for ML workloads. You will be hands-on delivering our profiling solutions across system software, drivers, and CUDA to make profiling continuously available and reliable.
What you’ll be doing:
-
Develop low-overhead, high-reliability implementations in C/C, with bounded CPU/memory budgets.
-
Lead end-to-end feature delivery spanning user-mode components, driver/platform layers, and performance counter/trace providers.
-
Establish profiling models that integrate with existing ML/AI workflows (e.g., Py Torch/XLA) to turn low-level signals into actionable insights.
What we need to see:
-
BS or MS degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree.
-
8 years of system-level C/C development, including concurrency, memory management, and performance engineering.
-
Familiarity with system software design, operating systems fundamentals, computer architectures, performance analysis, and delivering production-quality software.
-
Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication; able to influence across organizations and build trust with external collaborators.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
-
Extensive experience with profiling/tracing stacks for CPU/GPU (e.g., CUPTI, Nsight, performance counters, event correlation) and debugging highly concurrent systems.
-
Deep hands-on knowledge of CUDA and GPU architecture, including runtime/driver APIs, CUDA streams/graphs, and kernel behavior.
-
Track record building continuous, always-on, or multi-client profiling systems designed for predictable overhead at scale.
-
Hands-on experience tuning ML training/inference loops based on deep profiling analysis, with familiarity in ML ecosystems (e.g., Py Torch, JAX) and correlating application events with GPU metrics to translate data into actionable performance insights (e.g., bottleneck triage, compute vs. memory bound).
-
Experience with user-mode driver development and integration within platform security and permissions models.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until February 15, 2026.

NVIDIA Culture Discussions
Team-dependent experience; sink-or-swim culture that rewards high performers but can be overwhelming. No politics, flat structure, but demanding workload with some teams requiring evening/weekend work.
