Senior Research Engineer - Enterprise Products

About the role

We are now looking for a Senior Research Engineer passionate about Generative AI inference. Are you excited to change the way people infuse AI into products and services?

Responsibilities

• Design and evaluate routing policies for LLM traffic to best use mixture of model systems.
• Build and run agentic benchmarks (e.g., Terminal-Bench ) to measure algorithm quality, and turn results into calibration data and routing profiles.
• Ship to an open-source repo: design docs, code review, docs, and community contributions.
• Collaborate with research teams, engineers, and open-source community.
• Collaborating with engineering teams across all of NVIDIA to ensure our software integrates seamlessly up and down the NVIDIA accelerated serving stack.

Requirements

• Bachelor's of Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of industry experience in Deep Learning frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
• Experience designing or running LLM evaluations/benchmarks — ideally agentic ones — and drawing statistically sound conclusions from them.
• Understanding of modern techniques in Machine Learning, Deep Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, or Speech Recognition.
• Empirical research mindset: forming hypotheses about new algorithms, running calibrations, iterating on results.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to work in a dynamic and distributed team.
• A history of mentoring junior engineers and interns is a huge plus.
• A desire to constantly grow and learn new things.
• Strong computer science fundamentals - algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, parallel and distributed computing, system software.

Qualifications

• Experience architecting or developing large-scale distributed systems for deep learning.
• Agentic benchmark creation and publications.
• Knowledge of CPU and/or GPU architecture.
• GPU programming (CUDA).
