• 5+ years of experience in Software development

• Experience with GenAI application development using LLM frameworks and multi agent applications

• Expertise in evaluation systems (such as RAGAs), and observability platforms (such as Arize Phoenix)

• Understanding of different agent architectures, RAG systems, and communication protocols

• Deep familiarity with reinforcement learning algorithms like PPO, SAC, or Q-learning, including experience tuning hyperparameters and reward functions

• Hands on experience with large scale training (e.g., ZeRO) and data processing (e.g. Spark)

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Proven deployment of large-scale agentic application with high concurrency and agility

• Experience with software and hardware especially involving DFT, failure analysis, and CAD tools

• Working experience of agentic models / frameworks, observability and evaluation tools

• In-depth understanding of the modern LLMs, and proprietary APIs

• Experience with fine-tuning large language models, building advanced multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines and vector databases

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. We have some of the most brilliant and talented people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our world-class engineering teams are growing fast. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.
