Joining NVIDIA's AI Efficiency Team means contributing to the infrastructure that powers our leading‑edge AI research. This team focuses on optimizing efficiency and resiliency of ML workloads, as well as developing scalable AI infrastructure tools and services. Our objective is to deliver a stable, scalable environment for NVIDIA's AI researchers, providing them with the necessary resources and scale to foster innovation.

We're redefining the way Deep Learning applications run on tens of thousands of GPUs. Join our team of experts and help us build a supercharged AI platform that improves efficiency, resilience, and Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU). In this position you will be collaborating with a diverse team that cuts across many areas of the Deep Learning HW/SW stack in building a highly scalable, fault‑tolerant and optimized AI platform.

What You Will Be Doing

Build AI models, tools and frameworks that provide real‑time application performance metrics that can be correlated with system metrics

Develop automation frameworks that empower applications to thoughtfully predict and overcome system/infrastructure failures, ensuring fault tolerance

Collaborate with software teams to pinpoint performance bottlenecks. Design, prototype, and integrate solutions that deliver demonstrable performance gains in production environments

Adapt and enhance communication libraries to seamlessly support innovative network topologies and system architectures

Design or adapt optimized storage solutions to boost Deep Learning efficiency, resilience, and developer productivity

What We Need To See

BS/MS/PhD (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field

12+ years of proven experience in analyzing and improving performance of training applications using PyTorch or a similar framework

Experience building distributed software applications using collective communication libraries such as MPI, NCCL or UCC

Constructing storage solutions for Deep Learning applications

Building automated fault‑tolerant distributed applications

Building tools for bottleneck analysis and automation of fault tolerance in distributed environments

Strong background in parallel programming and distributed systems

Experience analyzing and optimizing large‑scale distributed applications

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

Deep understanding of HPC and distributed system architecture

Hands‑on experience in more than one of the above areas, especially with large SOTA AI models, performance analysis and profiling of Deep Learning workloads

Comfortable navigating and working with the PyTorch codebase

Proven understanding of CUDA and GPU architecture

Salary & Benefits Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is $224,000‑$356,500 USD for Level 5, and $272,000‑$425,500 USD for Level 6.
