Senior CPU Compiler Performance Engineer

We are seeking a Senior CPU Compiler Performance Engineer to join our team at NVIDIA. You will design compiler and hardware software together, developing new technologies to help with hardware software co-design. Your work will be crucial for the performance of AI, HPC, and other performance-critical software deployed on NVIDIA Data Centres, on the cloud, and at supercomputing centres around the world.

Responsibilities:

• Work with a geographically distributed partner organisation to understand, modify, and improve CPU Compiler SW at NVIDIA.
• Analyse AI workloads to champion improvements in both new hardware and compiler toolchain and improve hardware-software co-design.
• Contribute new features and optimisation techniques targeting NVIDIA CPUs, engaging with upstream and open-source communities.
• Develop compiler SW that is optimised for performance.
• Be part of a team that is at the centre of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and data centre technologies.
• Contribute towards the development of next-generation compute.

• Experience with compiler development or a related academic project.
• Knowledge of Language Front-Ends or Compiler optimisation techniques and code generation modules.
• Strong hands-on C++ programming skills.
• Good CPU architecture and low-level performance analysis skills with hands-on experience of pre-Silicon hardware/software co-design.
• Excellent verbal and written communications skills.

Nice to Have:

• Knowledge of workload analysis and the ability to drive improvements in hardware, software, libraries, and compilers.
• Expertise with CPU architectures such as Arm Architecture (AArch32, AArch64), RISC-V, x86_64, PowerPC, or DSPs.
• A track record of working with industry-standard compiler infrastructure such as GCC, LLVM, or MLIR.
• Knowledge of AI algorithms, scientific HPC applications, and related code optimisations.
• Significant contributions to free software and open-source compiler communities.
