NVIDIA’s System Software team builds foundational software that enables deterministic, high- performance computing platforms by shifting complexity from silicon into software. We design and maintain the hardware abstraction layers, core system libraries, and runtime components that allow compiler teams and data center operators to safely and efficiently execute workloads on novel architectures. In this role, you will develop and evolve the libraries, drivers, and runtime interfaces that serve as key entry points into the platform. You will also help improve reliability and operability through automation, diagnostics, and tight cross-org collaboration with hardware, compiler, and operations teams. What you'll be doing: Extend and maintain hardware abstraction layers and core system libraries used across the platform. Design and implement drivers, runtimes, and data movement/aggregation pipelines supporting   workload execution. Build and maintain runtime interfaces for launching, monitoring, and managing workloads. Improve platform reliability through automation, error reporting, diagnostics, and operational   tooling. Debug and resolve complex sequencing, initialization, and runtime issues across multi-component   systems. Partner cross-functionally with hardware engineering, compiler teams, and data center operations   to bring features from prototype to production. Support new platform bring-up and NPI (New Product Introduction) efforts for new boards and   silicon. Contribute to engineering excellence through documentation, tooling improvements, code reviews,   and knowledge sharing. What we need to see: A Masters Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, related STEM field or equivalent experience. 5+ years of relevant work experience Strong proficiency in modern C++ (design, implementation, debugging, and performance   considerations). Experience designing, maintaining, and refactoring software libraries and APIs with long-term   support in mind. Comfort working in large, multi-repository or multi-component codebases with layered   dependencies. Demonstrated ability to lead or drive triage of difficult reliability issues and produce clear root-cause   analysis. Ability to clearly communicate software architecture and design tradeoffs, including using diagrams   and written design docs. Low-level platform software experience (e.g., firmware/boot flows, RTOS, BMCs/MCUs, RISC-V, or   closely related system software). Linux systems experience that includes driver or kernel-adjacent interfaces (e.g., VFIO or similar   subsystems). Hardware bring-up and/or system triage experience (fault analysis, system diagnostics, or validation   support in lab environments). Ways to stand out from the crowd: Distributed systems experience (e.g., MPI, gRPC, RPC frameworks, coordination/telemetry patterns). Experience with inference systems and token serving (e.g., vLLM or similar serving/runtime stacks). Experience shipping and supporting customer-facing SDKs, including documentation and ABI   compatibility practices. Production readiness and delivery experience (e.g., CI/CD and release workflows, monitoring/alerting practices, Kubernetes and/or data center operational workflows). The GPU started out as the engine for simulating human imagination, conjuring up the amazing virtual worlds of video games and Hollywood films. Now, NVIDIA’s GPU runs deep learning algorithms, simulating human intelligence, and acts as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Just as human imagination and intelligence are linked, computer graphics and artificial intelligence come together in our architecture. Today, NVIDIA GPUs are used broadly for deep learning, and NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA has some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world inventing the future with us. Are you a creative and collaborative software engineer seeking new challenges? If so, we want to hear from you! Come, join us and help build the real-time, cost-effective AI computing platform driving our success in this exciting and quickly growing field. Your 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 . Applications for this job will be accepted at least until February 13, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.  NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes. NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse 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.
