NVIDIA is the platform upon which every new AI-powered application is built. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to develop components that are used by the software factory automation for NVIDIA Inference Microservices (NIMs) and its deployed services. The right person for this role brings technical drive and creativity to change the way NVIDIA provides high-performance inferencing for every AI model. Our NIM offerings are easy to use, optimized for performance, and developed using a highly automated software factory. We create containers available for download and hosted services.
You will apply your expertise to develop highly available services that make effective use of the thousands of GPU involved in this operation. Your services provide the best-in-class performance, accuracy and availability. We are looking for technical talent to design, build, operate and improve our capabilities to produce NIMs at scale, including the underlying infrastructure, pipelines, inference backends, Docker build, test harness, metrics, performance engineering, log ingestion, and more.
