role at

NVIDIA .

NVIDIA has become the platform upon which every new AI-powered application is built. We are seeking a Sr. HPC Performance engineer to join our team of scientists and engineers passionate about building the next generation of scientific machine learning (ML) frameworks. Starting with digital biology, through high performance computing (HPC) and powerful ML methods, together, we will advance NVIDIA’s capacity to accelerate AI for Science and industries that depend on it.

What You'll Be Doing

Design and implement computationally performant features for large scale, CUDA‑backed ML training frameworks, using low level acceleration and scaling strategies such as GPU porting, data structure innovations, distributed learning technologies

Optimize computational performance of wide range of business‑critical ML models via accelerated hardware and software stack, as well as algorithmic improvements

Develop and maintain HPC software stack for generative machine learning models in digital biology and beyond

Collaborate with multiple HPC, AI infrastructure, and research teams

Develop tools to assist data processing, data quality control, algorithm development, and algorithm testing

Drive the testing and maintenance of the algorithms and software modules

What We Need To See

Advanced degree in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Computational Biophysics, Computational Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, or equivalent experience

8+ years of relevant experience

Consistent track record in performance engineering as well as software design, building and packaging and launching software products

Deep understanding of parallel programming in C++, Python; ideally CUDA and OAI Triton programming experience

Fluent in modern machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Warp

Experience with HPC solutions to research problems, ideally for biology, chemistry or material science applications

Recognized for technical leadership contributions, capable of self‑direction, and ability to learn from and teach others

You should display strong communication skills, be organized and self‑motivated, and play well with others (be an excellent teammate!)

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

Contributor to major scientific AI for Science codebase

Familiarity with pioneering language and geometric models used in AI for Science applications in biology, chemistry, material science

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is $184,000 - $287,500 for Level 4, and $224,000 - $356,500 for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
