Senior Compiler Engineer - Compute

Details

We are looking for a highly motivated Compiler Software Engineer to join a dynamic and innovative CUDA compiler team. You will craft compiler capabilities that enable development and deployment of high-performance parallel applications on NVIDIA's next-generation GPUs. The team delivers language extensions and performance improvements for workloads ranging from deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars to video games and virtual reality.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement enhancements to the CUDA C++ compiler driver and front-end, ensuring tight integration with third-party compiler software.
• Contribute to the CUDA C++ programming language specification and its evolution, including support for new GPU hardware capabilities.
• Drive language conformance, front-end robustness, and compile-time improvements benefiting a wide range of users.
• Provide engineering support for the compiler and deliver targeted changes for production customer releases.
• Establish and maintain strong customer/partner relationships through high-quality software development and execution.

Requirements

• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 4+ years of experience developing production compilers or related software.
• Knowledge of compiler front-end technology and experience with compiler development.
• Advanced C++ development skills, including experience with large, modularized codebases.
• Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs.
