Senior Software Engineer, Agentic Engineering

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA +1 · Remote

Senior Software Engineer to build agentic workflows for code generation, testing, and tuning within NVIDIA's frameworks and compilers. The role involves partnering with internal teams to develop and integrate AI agents into engineering processes, focusing on multi-agent orchestration and autonomous loops.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop a deep, shared understanding with early-adopter engineering teams, identifying friction points where agentic workflows would have the highest impact.
  2. Iterate with teams on proof points to validate or revise plans as requirements evolve.
  3. Use technical judgment to distinguish durable architectural opportunities from "tech du jour" hype.
  4. Agent-ify compiler infrastructure to enable autonomous agents to make high-dimensional optimizations, with closed-loop validation on real hardware.
  5. Contribute to cross-org collaborative group sharing reusable agentic methodology, helping the broader organization adopt what works.

Skills

Required

  • MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 6+ years of experience
  • Strong Python development skills
  • Working knowledge of GPUs or other highly data-parallel systems
  • Demonstrated projects or work experience using and supporting AI systems
  • Experience building tools or systems shaped by direct partnership with internal customer or user teams
  • Multi-agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph) or LLM-based workflow automation
  • Compiler infrastructure, intermediate representations, or program transformation
  • Autonomous search or optimization over high-dimensional parameter spaces
  • Hardware-aware performance optimization for deep learning workloads
  • Code generation systems or domain-specific languages (DSLs)

Nice to have

  • Passion for following the evolution of ML hardware and staying up to date on emerging kernel programming techniques
  • Experience building evaluation or testing harnesses, especially for ML systems or multi-agent workflows
  • Track record of building internal tools or frameworks that force-multiply engineering teams
  • Demonstrated ability to thrive in ambiguous, self-directed environments while remaining humble: communicating with clarity, actively listening, and finding ground truth
  • An allergic reaction to "solutions in search of problems"

What the JD emphasized

  • Track record of shipping complex projects with minimal direction
  • Experience building tools or systems shaped by direct partnership with internal customer or user teams
  • Examples of leading technical work through changing requirements and revising direction when evidence demands it
