Description

NVIDIA's Developer Tools team is seeking a Senior Performance Analysis Platform Lead to guide architecture, compatibility, and integration across profiling services.

The role offers broad influence over the quality, reliability, and evolution of performance-analysis technologies.

Responsibilities:

  • Set technical direction for a secure, reliable, and extensible performance-analysis platform.
  • Align product goals and engineering decisions across frontend, backend, data, security, and infrastructure teams.
  • Lead end-to-end design and integration for complex capabilities that span multiple ownership areas.
  • Implement difficult cross-boundary work that validates key decisions and unblocks delivery.
  • Establish engineering standards for compatibility, quality, performance, and operational readiness.

Requirements:

  • BS or MS degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree.
  • 12+ years of experience building and operating production software, including technical leadership for complex products or major platform capabilities.
  • Deep hands-on expertise in backend platforms or distributed systems, strong production ability in at least one language, and enough technical range to align specialists across the product.
  • Experience evolving APIs, events, saved state, or stored data without breaking existing users or deployments.
  • Practical knowledge of asynchronous failure modes, with depth in real-time collaboration, analytical services, secure multi-user products, workflow orchestration, or a comparable area.
  • Ability to trace a user workflow across browser and backend behavior, diagnose where it fails, and guide the responsible engineers toward a durable fix.
  • A record of turning prototypes or zero-to-one platforms into secure, observable, well-operated products through hands-on cross-team leadership.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor senior engineers, negotiate technical tradeoffs, and maintain clear ownership while driving an integrated outcome.

Benefits:

  • Highly competitive salaries
  • Comprehensive benefits package
