Senior Software Engineer, Agentic AI

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Agentic AI High-Performance Code Generation team. In this role, you will build autonomous systems that engineer code at the highest levels of performance.

What you’ll be doing:

• Architect Agentic Systems: Lead the design and implementation of sophisticated coding agents and agentic platforms capable of multi-step reasoning, self-correction, and autonomous code generation.
• Scale Distributed Systems: Build and maintain high-performance, large-scale production systems that handle the compute-intensive nature of agentic workflows and AI evaluation.
• Develop Evaluation Frameworks: Create and implement rigorous AI evaluation methodologies to measure the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of generated code and agentic logic.
• Optimize for Performance: Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure agent-generated code and the underlying platforms are optimized for the latest NVIDIA GPU architectures.
• Establish Engineering Standards: Drive best practices for code quality, testing, and deployment within the agentic AI ecosystem to ensure reliable, production-grade output.

What we need to see:

• A MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 4+ years of experience building and maintaining large-scale production systems.
• Proven experience in building coding agents or developing comprehensive agent platforms.
• Direct experience developing skills and workflows using state-of-the-art coding agents and IDEs (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex).
• Proficient in Python and at least one systems programming language (C++ or Rust).
• Strong background in AI evaluation and the ability to design benchmarks for complex, non-deterministic agentic behaviors.
• Experience with distributed systems and orchestration to manage high-throughput AI workloads.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Low-Level Mastery: Experience writing CUDA kernels and deep-dive profiling using Nsight Compute and Nsight Systems.
• Framework Optimization: Hands-on experience optimizing and deploying with TRT-LLM, SGLang, vLLM, or Transformer Engine.
• Agentic Innovation: Demonstrated leadership in building and scaling agentic AI applications in production environments.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
