NVIDIA · Santa Clara, CA · 2 wk ago
EngineeringFull-time

What You Will Be Doing

  • Act as the lead engineer for developing the agent frameworks natively on Windows environments.
  • Shape the technical roadmap to bring always-on, self-evolving AI assistants to GeForce RTX PCs and laptops.
  • Lead the engineering efforts to optimize the agent runtimes for Windows.
  • Ensure that autonomous agents operate within thorough, policy-based privacy and security frameworks (e.g., handling filesystem access, secure inference routing, and network egress).
  • Partner closely with internal AI research teams, driver teams, and the open-source OpenClaw community.
  • Ensure our consumer hardware provides an excellent ecosystem for autonomous agents.
  • Foster a collaborative engineering culture by mentoring other engineers, establishing best practices for AI agent deployment, and writing reliable, production-ready code.

What We Need To See

  • 10+ years of relevant professional software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in Staff, or Lead Architect role.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • Deep understanding of Windows OS internals, process isolation, sandboxing technologies, and system-level security architecture.
  • Proven understanding of LLM inference pipelines (Ollama, Llamacpp, vLLM), GPU-accelerated computing (CUDA, TensorRT), and experience running local models on consumer-grade hardware.
  • Practical experience with modern AI orchestration and agentic frameworks (e.g., OpenClaw, Hermes, LangChain) and an understanding of how multi-agent systems plan, act, and use tools.
  • Proficiency in multiple languages, particularly C++ (for performance-critical systems/OS integration) and Python (for AI/blueprint logic).
  • Experience building virtualization, containerization, or robust sandboxing tools natively for the Windows ecosystem.
