Overview

Are you ready to innovate GPU performance analysis for Machine Learning workloads? Join our Developer Tools Always-On Profiling (AON) team as a Senior Software Architect, where you'll be pivotal in designing, implementing, and leading our Always-On Profiling service. This role demands deep technical expertise, a proven track record to solve ambiguous challenges, and strong technical leadership skills.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and Build Scalable Systems : Drive the design and implementation of the AON profiling service's core systems. You'll master inter-process communication (IPC), memory management, and building low-overhead architectures to handle profiling data from complex multi-node, multi-process, multi-GPU, and cluster environments.
  • Elevate Software Engineering Excellence : Promote high standards in software development, including design patterns, concurrency, parallelism, and advanced debugging for asynchronous systems. Our commitment to code quality and robust testing ensures a reliable profiling service.
  • Lead, Mentor, and Innovate : Guide and mentor engineers, provide impactful code reviews, and shape technical roadmaps. Proactively identify complex technical issues within the AON project, break them down, and craft innovative solutions. Your problem-solving prowess will be crucial for AON's success with ML workloads.
  • Architect and Build High-Performance Platforms : Transform user needs into clear requirements and design documents. Explore diverse approaches to problems, making well-reasoned recommendations. Lead end-to-end feature development—from planning and prototyping to implementation, testing, and customer evaluation. This involves hands-on development across user applications, drivers, performance counter libraries, and lower-level platform / hardware abstraction layers.
  • Collaborate Across Boundaries : Partner effectively with diverse internal and external teams. Exceptional communication and collaboration skills are key to integrating AON seamlessly into the broader profiling and ML ecosystem.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree.
  • 8+ years of meaningful software development experience in C, C++, and Python
  • 10+ years in system software design, operating systems fundamentals, computer architectures, performance analysis, and delivering production-quality software.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication, demonstrating the ability to build cross-organizational partnerships and lead technical teams through complex challenges.
  • Profiling & Performance Tools Expert : Extensive knowledge of profiling technologies (sampling, tracing), overhead analysis, and diverse profiling data (CPU / GPU events, performance counters, API traces, event correlation). Familiarity with existing profiling ecosystems and their limitations is a plus.
  • GPU & CUDA Proficiency : In-depth knowledge of CUDA APIs, runtime, streams, kernels, and GPU architecture.
  • ML Ecosystem & Performance Analysis : Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX, and knowledge of performance analysis for AI training / inference applications.
  • Large-Scale System Development & Debugging : Experience developing and debugging across complex multi-layered software systems, including user mode and kernel drivers, with a proven ability to contribute to and extend substantial codebases (hundreds of millions of lines).
  • Proficiency in Designing APIs and Interfaces for Profiling Tools : Designs robust, flexible APIs and interfaces enabling seamless integration of profiling tools with various frameworks and custom code.
  • Mastery of Problem Simplification : A history of breaking down ill-defined problems in complex technical domains, designing effective solutions, and leading teams to implement them.
  • Ways to stand out from the crowd

  • Pioneering Low-Overhead Profiling Systems : A track record of designing and implementing profiling systems with minimal performance impact on target workloads, especially in complex multi-process and distributed environments.
  • Deep Understanding of PyTorch Internals & CUDA Usage : A comprehensive grasp of how PyTorch uses CUDA, including tensor memory, operations, and distributed training functionalities.
  • GPU Performance Analysis & Optimization Acuity : The ability to analyze profiling data and translate it into concrete, actionable insights, particularly within CUDA and ML Frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Translating Customer Needs : Skilled at redefining customer requests into actionable use cases and requirements.
  • Strong understanding of system security principles.
  • Base salary will be determined based on 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 November 2, 2025. NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. 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.
