Compiler Engineer, Compute Front-End - College Grad

We are looking for a highly motivated Compiler Software Engineer to join this dynamic and innovative CUDA Compiler team. You will craft compiler capabilities that enable development and deployment of high performance parallel applications on NVIDIA's next generation GPU’s. Our team delivers language extensions and performance improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for a wide range of computational workloads, including deep learning, scientific computation, self‑driving cars, video games, and virtual reality.

In this role, as a leader on our team, you will work on the optimizing CUDA C++ compiler, a core component of our platform for accelerating general‑purpose computation on the GPU. The CUDA programming language defines a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities. The compiler translates parallel programs written in CUDA/C++ into microcode that is optimized for fast execution on NVIDIA’s GPU architectures.

• Design and implement enhancements to the CUDA C++ compiler driver and front‑end, ensuring tight integration with industry‑leading third‑party compiler software.
• Contribute to the CUDA C++ programming language specification and its evolution, factoring in support for new GPU hardware capabilities.
• Drive language conformance, front‑end robustness, and compile‑time improvements that benefit a wide range of users, from deep learning researchers to safety‑critical software developers.
• Provide engineering support for the compiler and deliver targeted changes for production customer releases.
• Establish strong customer/partner relationships and trust through excellent execution and high‑quality software development.

• BS/MS/PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 1+ years of experience in developing production compilers or related software.
• Knowledge of compiler front‑end technology.
• Advanced C++ development skills, including experience working with large, modularized codebases.
• Strong interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills.
• Capability to achieve objectives under tight deadlines.
• Experience executing tasks while managing competing priorities.
• Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs.
• Deep understanding of technology and passion for what you do, with proven teamwork and the ability to guide and influence within a dynamic matrix environment.

• Strong track record in compiler engineering with EDG, LLVM‑clang or other industrial strength compiler front‑ends.
• Prior work on domain‑specific front‑ends or IRs such as MLIR, including dialect development or integration with custom compilers.
• CUDA C++ application development experience.
• Strong understanding of parallel programming concepts.
• Experience working with programming language and programming language standards.

• Base salary range for Level2: $124,000–$195,500; for Level3: $152,000–$241,500.
• Eligibility for equity and a comprehensive benefits package.
