TL;DR · AI Developer Technology Engineer

The AI Developer Technology Engineer joins the DevTech team to accelerate the frontier of generative AI training and inference. This role involves developing cutting-edge techniques to GPU-accelerate complex workloads across large language models, diffusion models, and multimodal systems. You will work directly with developers to optimize algorithms, contribute to low-level software libraries, and influence the design of next-generation hardware and programming models. The position requires a master's degree in a related field or equivalent experience, along with at least one year of professional experience in software engineering and performance tuning. Essential skills include C/C++ programming fluency, deep knowledge of parallel programming, and advanced understanding of CPU and GPU architectures. You will solve technical bottlenecks by performing in-depth analysis of complex AI algorithms to deliver peak performance on modern hardware systems for the developer community.

What you'll do

  • Develop techniques to GPU-accelerate complex workloads for LLMs, diffusion models, and multimodal systems.
  • Optimize generative AI training and inference performance directly on the NVIDIA platform.
  • Build and optimize algorithms for training/inference frameworks, low-level software libraries, and open-source projects.
  • Perform in-depth analysis and optimization of complex AI algorithms on modern CPU and GPU architectures.
  • Influence the design of next-generation hardware, system software, and programming models through internal collaboration.
  • Publish breakthrough optimization techniques in developer blogs and present at industry conferences.

What we're looking for

  • MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related computational field (or equivalent experience).
  • 1+ years of relevant work or research experience in software engineering and performance tuning.
  • Programming fluency in C/C++ with a deep understanding of algorithms and software development.
  • Background in accelerated computing with knowledge of parallel programming, performance analysis, and optimization.
  • Hands-on experience performing low-level performance optimizations.
  • Foundational understanding of modern CPU and GPU architectures.
  • PhD in a relevant field (preferred).
  • Experience with training/inference stacks, serving frameworks, pre-training/post-training pipelines, linear algebra, and numerical methods (preferred).
