Senior Library Acceleration Engineer, RAPIDS

NVIDIA is hiring Systems Software Engineers to work on RAPIDS, a suite of open-source software libraries that accelerates end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines on GPUs. RAPIDS relies on NVIDIA CUDA for low-level compute optimization but exposes that high-performance GPU compute through user-friendly Python interfaces.

We’re growing the team developing core libraries within RAPIDS. In this role, you will develop, benchmark, and architect backend libraries and frontend APIs. This is a great chance to take advantage of your fundamental computer science as well as more practical topics such as the PyData Stack, CUDA, C++, and Python programming skills. You’ll work closely with the RAPIDS team of stellar engineers building highly-optimized CUDA libraries.

What you'll be doing:

• Analyze, design, and implement optimized GPU algorithms for data analytics and machine learning

• Expand and improve integration of RAPIDS into relevant high-level frameworks

• Drive performance analysis, benchmarking, and trouble-shooting of associated libraries.

• Collaborate with a multi-functional team to understand requirements and implement or improve solutions

What we need to see:

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering or related field in Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision or equivalent experience.

• 5+ years of proven experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Math, or related field

• Expert level knowledge in building and maintaining Python interfaces to lower level libraries, preferably in C++ (CUDA a bonus)

• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, algorithms and mathematics fundamentals.

• Excellent software development skills: programming, debugging, performance analysis, and test design

• Good communication and documentation habits.

• Ability to work independently and manage your own development efforts.

• A passion for thoughtful benchmarking

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience developing distributed algorithms and running on distributed systems: HPC, Cloud, etc

• Background with debugging multi-language and multi-hardware systems

• Experience with PyData: NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Dask, Xarray, Zarr

• Prior work on open-source projects

• GPU programming knowledge is a plus, but if you don’t have it, we’re happy to teach you
