Details

NVIDIA is a global leader in high-speed computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep learning. Our team develops data engineering solutions that empower AI developers in autonomous vehicle (AV) domains to innovate quickly and effectively at scale.

Are you ready to take on a senior technical role in building high-performance AI data pipelines? We seek an exceptional individual to design and optimize microservices and data pipelines to process massive volumes of AV data and enable seamless data mining and AI training. The ideal candidate will bring expertise in big data processing and distributed computing to create efficient solutions and overarching architectures for challenges such as video data curation, behavioral search, and AI dataset management.

Responsibilities

  • Scope and build tools, microservices, workflows, and distributed applications to accelerate data mining and AI training.
  • Design and implement solutions for streaming, resilience, logging, security, authentication, workflow orchestration, and data management.
  • Deploy AI models.
  • Design and develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows enabling hybrid and agentic patterns.
  • Analyze and operationalize complex distributed systems for speed-of-light performance.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of experience developing high-performance, scalable software systems.
  • Strong programming skills in Python or Golang.
  • Proficiency in key technologies like Kubernetes, Helm, Hive, Parquet, SQL, vector databases (e.g., Milvus).
  • Strong architectural skills with a proactive, problem-solving mentality.
  • Experience in data mining and AI development.
  • Experience building ETL pipelines and working with big data engines.
  • Exceptional collaboration skills to work with system software and AI expert teams.
  • Eagerness to learn and adopt new technologies such as NVIDIA RAPIDS.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd

  • Prior experience with large-scale real-time streaming, augmented reality, or data curation.
  • Prior background with Spark.
  • Exposure to the latest advances in AI, including Large Language Models, Vision-Language Models, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAGs).
  • Innovative results, including patents, publications, or open source contributions.

Compensation

The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD based on location, experience, and similar positions. Eligibility for equity and benefits is included.
