We are looking to hire a CPU Compiler Engineer for an exciting and fun role at NVIDIA. Our compiler organisation makes its mark on every CPU, GPU, DPU and SoC product that NVIDIA builds, and we need you to design, develop and help improve the upstream LLVM Toolchain for NVIDIA's CPUs. These compilers are key to the performance of AI, HPC and other performance‑critical software deployed on NVIDIA data centers, in the cloud and at super computing centres around the world. You will solve critical problems working alongside an outstanding engineering team, collaborating with upstream and open source communities to advance compiler technology and systems software.

What you will be doing:

  • Work with a geographically distributed partner organisation to understand, modify and improve CPU compiler software at NVIDIA.
  • Contribute new features and optimisation techniques targeting NVIDIA Grace CPUs, engaging with upstream and open source communities.
  • Develop compiler software that is optimised for performance.
  • Be part of a team at the centre of AI, HPC and data centre technologies.
  • Help in the development of next‑generation CPU micro‑architecture.

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • More than 12 years of experience with compiler development in a production environment.
  • Knowledge of language front‑ends or compiler optimisation techniques and code generation modules.
  • Strong hands‑on C++ programming skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Ways to stand out:

  • Familiarity with CPU architectures such as ARM (AArch32, AArch64), RISC‑V, x86_64, PowerPC or DSPs and experience with pre‑silicon compiler and toolchain contributions.
  • Track record of working with industry standard compiler infrastructure such as LLVM.
  • Knowledge of AI algorithms, scientific HPC applications and related code optimisations.
  • Meaningful contributions to free software and open source compiler communities.

We are an equal‑opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
