Senior Software Engineer, AI Inference Systems
Pubblicato il 10-09-2026 - NVIDIA in Roma
We are seeking highly skilled and motivated software engineers to join us and build AI inference systems that serve large-scale models with extreme efficiency. You’ll architect and implement high-performance inference stacks, optimize GPU kernels and compilers, drive industry benchmarks, and scale workloads across multi-GPU, multi-node, and multi-cloud environments. You’ll collaborate across inference, compiler, scheduling, and performance teams to push the frontier of accelerated computing for AI.
What You’ll Be Doing
Contribute features to vLLM that empower the newest models with the latest NVIDIA GPU hardware features; profile and optimize the inference framework (vLLM) with methods like speculative decoding, data/tensor/expert/pipeline-parallelism, prefill-decode disaggregation.
Develop, optimize, and benchmark GPU kernels (hand-tuned and compiler-generated) using techniques such as fusion, autotuning, and memory/layout optimization; build and extend high-level DSLs and compiler infrastructure to boost kernel developer productivity while approaching peak hardware utilization.
Define and build inference benchmarking methodologies and tools; contribute both new benchmark and NVIDIA’s submissions to the industry-leading MLPerf Inference benchmarking suite.
Architect the scheduling and orchestration of containerized large-scale inference deployments on GPU clusters across clouds.
Conduct and publish original research that pushes the pareto frontier for the field of ML Systems; survey recent publications and find a way to integrate research ideas and prototypes into NVIDIA’s software products.
What We Need To See
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent expeience) in Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE) or Software Engineering (SE) with 7+ years of experience; alternatively, Master’s degree in CS/CE/SE with 5+ years of experience; or PhD degree with the thesis and top-tier publications in ML Systems, GPU architecture, or high-performance computing.
