Senior Software Engineer - Agentic Memory

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · CA +4 · Remote

Senior Software Engineer role focused on developing and researching agentic memory systems, including designing benchmarks, generating synthetic data, running experiments, and contributing to open-source evaluation tools. The role involves partnering with other NVIDIA teams deploying agents and advancing the state of the art in agentic memory evaluation.

What you'd actually do

  1. Designing novel benchmark tasks and evaluation methodologies that measure the effectiveness of agentic memory systems including semantic, episodic, and procedural memory across multi-session and multi-turn agent trajectories.
  2. Building and maintaining synthetic dataset generation pipelines that produce realistic, enterprise-relevant evaluation data at scale.
  3. Designing and running experiments to understand where agent memory falls short, diagnose root causes, and inform improvements.
  4. Developing and contributing to open-source evaluation harnesses that enable rigorous, reproducible comparison of memory system architectures.
  5. Partnering with teams across NVIDIA who are deploying agents to understand the role of memory in a variety of applications and help integrate improvements.

Skills

Required

  • Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or Applied Math with 12+ years of experience
  • Hands-on experience developing agentic systems and pipelines, with a preference for those that integrate and involve memory.
  • An understanding of the state of the art in retrieval research, with a focus on agentic retrieval.
  • Knowledge of best practices in batching, streaming, and scaling of large-scale data pipelines to support real-world applications.
  • Excellent Python programming skills and a strong understanding of the Python deep learning ecosystem.
  • An ability to share and communicate your ideas clearly through blog posts, papers, GitHub, etc.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required, along with the ability to work in a dynamic, product-oriented, distributed team.

Nice to have

  • A history of mentoring junior engineers and interns is a plus.
  • Candidates with a Master's, Ph.D. or equivalent experience in retrieval or multimodal research are preferred, along with a track record of publication in leading conferences like CVPR, ICLR, ICCV, ECCV, KDD, etc.
