Senior Performance Software Engineer, Deep Learning Libraries

ficial intelligence! We're always striving for peak GPU efficiency on current and future-generation GPUs. To get a sense of the code we write, check out our CUTLASS open-source project showcasing performant matrix multiply on NVIDIA's Tensor Cores with CUDA. This specific position primarily deals with code lower in the deep learning software stack, right down to the GPU HW.

What you'll be doing:

• Writing highly tuned compute kernels, mostly in C++ CUDA, to perform core deep learning operations (e.g. matrix multiplies, convolutions, normalizations)

• Following general software engineering best practices including support for regression testing and CI/CD flows

• Collaborating with teams across NVIDIA:

  • CUDA compiler team on generating optimal assembly code

  • Deep learning training and inference performance teams on which layers require optimization

  • Hardware and architecture teams on the programming model for new deep learning hardware features

What we need to see:

• Masters or PhD degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Applied Math, or related field

• 6+ years of relevant industry experience

• Demonstrated strong C++ programming and software design skills, including debugging, performance analysis, and test design

• Experience with performance-oriented parallel programming, even if it's not on GPUs (e.g. with OpenMP or pthreads)

• Solid understanding of computer architecture and some experience with assembly programming

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Tuning BLAS or deep learning library kernel code

• CUDA/OpenCL GPU programming

• Numerical methods and linear algebra

• LLVM, TVM tensor expressions, or TensorFlow MLIR
