Join NVIDIA’s TensorRT team to help lead a first-of-its-kind, AI-native initiative designed to make TensorRT the default entry point for out-of-framework inference globally. We are moving beyond traditional development cycles with a new framework built from the ground up to leverage swarms of AI agents to produce high-performance, high-quality, modern C++ software at an unprecedented scale.\nIf you are a systems-thinking C++ engineer who wants to help scale out an agentic development framework, stay on top of state-of-the-art deep learning breakthroughs, and improve users’ experience with lightning-fast model onboarding, we want to hear from you!\nWhat you'll be doing:\nArchitecting an AI-native framework: Help design and build a codebase and architecture that scales beyond human capacity, supporting large numbers of AI agents working in parallel to generate, test, and validate production-grade software.\n\nScaling through agentic workflows: Improve the ratio of compute-to-software output by adopting and building AI-native tools, multi-agent orchestrators, and codebase harnesses that keep humans focused on the highest-value work..\n\nRapid prototyping with SOTA models: Act as a technical scout, identifying industry and academic breakthroughs (e.g., new attention mechanisms, KV cache strategies) and dispatching AI agent swarms to prototype and integrate these capabilities into our framework.\n\nDelivering a great user experience: Ensure a seamless, high-performance path to production for the latest model families (LLMs, Diffusion, Audio, Vision and multi-modal models).\n\nExtreme performance optimization: Work at the intersection of Python orchestration and C++ engine-level optimizations to achieve major latency and throughput gains for critical customer use cases.\n\nWhat we need to see:\nBS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI, or equivalent experience.\n\n4+ years of relevant software development experience.\n\nStrong modern C++ skills: Proficiency with C++11/14/17 (or newer) and the STL, with an emphasis on clean, maintainable, performant code.\n\nDeep learning familiarity: Experience with modern inference frameworks and an understanding of the architectural nuances of LLMs, Diffusion, and multi-modal models.\n\nSystems thinking: Interest in how software architecture must evolve to support automated, agent-driven development and indefinitely scaling codebases.\n\nEnd-to-end product sense: Ability to translate high-level customer needs into concrete technical requirements and user-centric solutions.\n\nPragmatic execution: Demonstrated ability to go from customer requests to production-quality software on tight timelines.\n\nCollaborative mindset: Excellent communication skills and comfort working across internal organizations and with customers.\n\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nAgentic framework experience: Hands-on work with AI agent orchestrators or multi-agent coding frameworks, or experience building custom agentic coding harnesses for production software.\n\nCUDA & kernel expertise: Experience with CUDA programming or exposure to kernel generation / autotuning efforts.\n\nHigh-velocity prototyping: A track record of rapidly turning state-of-the-art papers into working prototypes in days, not weeks.\n\nPerformance profiling skills: Expertise in software performance analysis, profiling, and optimization (CPU and/or GPU), including using tooling to drive measurable wins.\n\nNVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative, autonomous, and love a challenge, come join our team and help us build the future of high-performance AI inference technology!\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until October 30, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4741,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Computer Components","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T11:03:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T15:55:11Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":241500,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T15:55:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5019,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnvidia-senior-ai-native-systems-software-engineer-tensorrt"}]}
