Senior Systems Software Engineer, Compute Stack Acceleration joins a team focused on making the compute software stack first-class on NVIDIA CPU platforms. This role involves leading cross-stack engineering efforts to transform ambiguous adoption problems into measurable outcomes by integrating modern toolchains, build practices, and performance-analysis workflows across real software components. You will work with compiler, platform, performance, library, and application teams to validate capabilities, resolve integration blockers, and create reusable playbooks. Key responsibilities include managing GCC and LLVM/Clang toolchains, linkers, and cross-compilation configurations while utilizing techniques like LTO, PGO, AutoFDO, and BOLT. You will use profiling tools, PMU data, flamegraphs, and binary analysis to improve runtime, code size, and engineering velocity. Required skills include C, C++, Linux systems knowledge, and experience with large multi-component codebases in CI environments.
