Senior Managed Runtime Compiler Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Managed Runtime Compiler Engineer to join our Compiler Team. You will improve execution efficiency across interpreters, JIT and AOT compilers, virtual machines, runtimes, libraries, and application stacks.

The initial focus is CPU Agentic workflows and managed languages such as CPython and Node.js; over time, work may span JDK, JavaScript/V8, or other VM and compiler efforts.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with a distributed team of compiler and runtime engineers to accelerate workloads on NVIDIA Vera and Vera Rubin systems.
• Analyze execution paths spanning interpreters, bytecode, JIT/AOT compilers, VMs, garbage collection, runtime libraries, and OS interactions.
• Investigate CPU Agentic application stacks, including Python, Node.js, Java, and related frameworks.
• Work with application performance, CPU architecture, compiler, runtime, and product teams to find bottlenecks and deliver measurable speedups.
• Land optimizations in open source projects and internal NVIDIA software stacks.
• Participate in HW/SW co-design from pre-silicon analysis through launch, customer enablement, and production support.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's, Master's, Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of production software development experience in compilers, language runtimes, virtual machines, interpreters, performance engineering, or related systems software.
• Excellent hands-on C/C++ programming skills and experience working in large production codebases.
• Deep understanding of managed runtime implementation techniques, such as bytecode interpreters, JIT or AOT compilation, profiling, deoptimization, inline caching, garbage collection, runtime libraries, or VM services.
• Hands-on experience analyzing and improving application performance using profilers, tracing, benchmarking, hardware performance counters, or other systematic analysis methods.
• Strong software design fundamentals and the ability to diagnose complex issues and deliver production-quality optimizations.

Benefits:

• Equity and benefits
