Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables amazing creativity and discovery, and powers what were once science fiction inventions from artificial intelligence to autonomous cars.

We are the GPU Communications Libraries and Networking team at NVIDIA. We deliver communication runtimes like NCCL and NVSHMEM for Deep Learning and HPC applications. We are looking for a motivated Partner Enablement Engineer to guide our key partners and customers with NCCL. Most DL/HPC applications run on large clusters with high-speed networking (Infiniband, RoCE, Ethernet). This is an outstanding opportunity to get an end to end understanding of the AI networking stack. Are you ready for to contribute to the development of innovative technologies and help realize NVIDIA's vision?

What you will be doing:

  • Engage with our partners and customers to root cause functional and performance issues reported with NCCL

  • Conduct performance characterization and analysis of NCCL and DL applications on groundbreaking GPU clusters

  • Develop tools and automation to isolate issues on new systems and platforms, including cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP, etc.)

  • Guide our customers and support teams on HPC knowledge and standard methodologies for running applications on multi-node clusters

  • Document and conduct trainings/webinars for NCCL

  • Engage with internal teams in different time zones on networking, GPUs, storage, infrastructure and support.
