We are looking for a Deep Learning Compiler Engineer. NVIDIA is hiring software engineers for its Deep Learning Compiler (DLC) team. Academic and commercial groups around the world are using GPUs to power a revolution in deep learning, enabling breakthroughs in many areas, e.g. large language models, generative AIs, recommendation systems, image classification, speech recognition, etc. Our DLC has been the backbone of NVIDIA inference engine, spanning across data centers, personal devices, automotive, and robotics. The compiler must deliver leading inference performance, fast build time, reduced memory footprints, and ease of use in the forms of both Ahead-of-Tine and Just-in-Time. Join the team building the DLC which will be used by the entire deep learning community.

What you'll be doing:

  • Analyzing deep learning networks and developing compiler optimization algorithms.

  • Collaborating with members of the deep learning software framework teams and the hardware architecture teams to accelerate the next generation of deep learning software.

  • Scope of these efforts includes defining public APIs, performance optimizations and analysis, crafting and implementing compiler infrastructure techniques for neural networks, and other general software engineering work.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, related field or equivalent experience

  • 3+ years of relevant work or research experience in performance analysis and compiler optimizations.

  • Ability to work independently, define project goals and scope, and lead your own development efforts.
