Engineers work directly with deep learning framework developers and integrate with open source code bases to support enterprise products and long-term support releases.

Responsibilities

Back-port changes from the mainline branch and maintain stable long-term-support (LTS) releases for TensorFlow, PyTorch, and TensorRT.
Track open-source dependency changes and ensure the latest stable dependencies are used for enterprise products.
Fix customer-reported bugs and integrate bug fixes found in mainline.
Work with other teams to ensure open-source dependencies are patched for security vulnerabilities to meet the needs of NVIDIA AI Enterprise business subscribers.

Excellent C/C++ programming and software design skills, including debugging and open source integration.
Python experience is helpful.
Experience using software build tools and packaging systems: Make, Docker, Bazel; packaging systems (Debian, pip, npm, etc.); build systems (GitLab, CI/Jenkins).
Prior experience with machine learning algorithms and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or MXNet.
Ability to work independently, contribute to release stability, and communicate detailed status updates.

Ways to stand out from the crowd

GPU programming experience (CUDA or OpenCL) is desired but not required.
Experience contributing to or managing large open source projects (GitHub usage, bug tracking, branching/merging, OSS licensing, managing patches).
Familiarity with GitLab CI pipelines.
