Senior Agentic AI Software Engineer
About the role
Today, NVIDIA is tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing—an era in which our GPUs act as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Demand for inference is growing rapidly, and coding and research agents are becoming major drivers of token usage. New agentic patterns, including reasoning models, parallel subagents, and long-horizon tool use, are increasing the complexity and scale of inference workloads.
We are looking to deeply understand the workload profiles of these agents as they evolve, developing the best understanding in the world so we can support building the best hardware. Through this process, we will also engineer our own agentic AI systems to ensure NVIDIA stays ahead of the curve.
Responsibilities
- Building agentic systems in coding and research domains internally
- Architecting systems that analyze inference workload dynamics of leading agentic harnesses under realistic conditions
- Collaborating with teams that lead evaluation systems for software and hardware to improve eval quality
Requirements
- Strong experience with building AI agents
- Familiarity with how to evaluate performance of AI agents
- Experience using coding agents like Codex and Claude Code
- MS in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience), with 5 years of relevant software development experience
- Huge plus for recent experience in AI inferencing or Agents
Skills
- 2+ years experience with building modern agentic systems or AI-backed systems
- Open source projects showcasing agentic AI applications you have built
- Rigorous analytical approach to analyzing and collecting data
