Senior Software Engineer, Benchmarking and Analytics

NVIDIA’s Networking Performance team develops advanced software tools that drive the optimization of the world’s fastest networking technologies. Our mission spans benchmarking, telemetry capture, and performance analysis, enabling both NVIDIA's R&D teams and NVIDIA's customers across the industry to root-cause bottlenecks, maximize throughput, and achieve world-class performance for AI and HPC workloads.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the design and development of next-generation performance engineering frameworks. In this role, you will focus on Python-based benchmarking and analysis systems, while also contributing to high-performance components in C/C++. You’ll work on challenges at the intersection of networking, distributed computing, and AI, building tools that run at scale on clusters, clouds, and data centers.

What you'll be doing:

• Design and implement performance benchmarking frameworks for next-generation AI and HPC workloads

• Take full technical ownership of our core telemetry engine

• Work across Python (primary) and C/C++ (for performance-critical modules) to deliver reliable and scalable tools

• Collaborate with experts in networking, AI, and systems to translate performance engineering needs into powerful software solutions

• Enhance our DevOps, owning the CI/CD pipelines and release processes for your projects

• Drive technical innovation in the performance engineering ecosystem, including taking part in building our next-gen agentic AI assistant

What we need to see:

• B.Sc. in Computer Science, or a related engineering field

• 5+ years of professional software development experience

• A proven track record of technical ownership, making key architectural decisions, driving a technical agenda, and problem solving

• Expert-level Python development skills, building robust, well-structured, production-grade applications

• C/C++ experience, especially for performance-critical or low-level components

• Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Linux systems knowledge, including software packaging (RPM, DEB), and an understanding of the complexities of software distribution and dependencies

• Experience with the Python data analysis and visualization frameworks (e.g., h5py, pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib/Plotly)

• Experience with Slurm, Kubernetes, MPI, or other distributed job orchestration and cluster management systems

• Familiarity with agentic AI concepts or frameworks (e.g., RAG techniques, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, etc.)

• Experience contributing to open-source projects
