Senior System Software Engineer, Retrieval-Augmented Generation

NVIDIA's technology is at the heart of the AI revolution, touching people across the planet by powering everything from self-driving cars, robotics, co-pilots and more. Join us at the forefront of technological advancement in intelligent assistants and information retrieval. ​What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation, aka RAG? Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a technique for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of generative AI models with facts fetched from external sources.

NVIDIA is looking for a System Software Engineer - RAG to develop pipelines for indexing and querying multi-modal content. We are looking for someone with a passion for working with the world's most complicated problems in Generative AI, LLM, MLLM, and RAG spaces using our innovative hardware and software platforms. You will develop tools for building powerful, flexible, multi-modal retrievers and agents driven by Large Language Models(LLM) thereby improving the experience of millions of customers. If you're creative & passionate about solving real world conversational AI problems, come join us.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Develop and optimize Python-based data processing frameworks, ensuring efficient handling of large datasets on GPU-accelerated environments, vital for LLM training.

• Contribute to the design and implementation of RAPIDS and other GPU-accelerated libraries, focusing on seamless integration and performance enhancement in the context of LLM training data preparation and RAG pipelines.

• Lead development and iterative optimization of components for RAG pipelines, ensuring they demonstrate GPU acceleration & the best performing models for improved TCO.

• Collaborate with teams of LLM & ML researchers in the development of full-stack, GPU-accelerated data preparation pipelines for multimodal models Implement benchmarking, profiling, and optimization of innovative algorithms in Python in various system architectures, specifically targeting LLM applications.

• Work closely with complementary teams to understand requirements, build & evaluate POCs, and develop roadmaps for production level tools and library features within the growing LLM ecosystem.

• Build amazing products to improve employee productivity using Gen-AI & Co-pilot experiences!

• Collaborate with your peers to craft, develop, test, and maintain integrated applications and features.

• Develop integrated systems enabling unified experience across applications and driving insights for end-to-end user experience.

• Help build and maintain our Continuous Delivery pipeline with the goal of moving changes to production faster and safer, while ensuring key operational standards.

• Provide peer reviews to other specialists including feedback on performance, scalability, and correctness.

• Actively contribute to the adoption of frameworks, standards, and new technologies

What We Need To See:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
