About the role

Senior Compiler Infrastructure Engineer focused on aligning NVIDIA’s compiler codebases with open-source ecosystems, reducing divergence, and building tooling to boost developer productivity at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Reconcile and synchronize downstream compiler codebases with open-source repositories, including restructuring, refactoring, and upstreaming internal changes where appropriate
  • Lead efforts to restructure, merge, or retire internal code to reduce divergence from upstream open-source projects
  • Design and build infrastructure, tooling, and developer workflows that improve productivity, correctness, and maintainability for internal compiler engineers
  • Develop automation and developer tools to aid in rebasing, patch management, validation, and large-scale refactoring
  • Explore and apply AI-assisted tools to improve developer workflows, including code navigation, change analysis, refactoring assistance, testing, and review efficiency
  • Partner with compiler developers, architecture teams, and CI/test infrastructure teams to ensure changes scale across geographically distributed organizations
  • Serve as a technical bridge between internal compiler development and open-source ecosystems, helping shape long-term alignment strategies

Qualifications

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Experience with open-source compiler frameworks
  • Excellent hands-on C++ programming skills
  • 3+ years experience working with large-scale, long-lived codebases, including refactoring and restructuring efforts
  • Solid understanding of compiler internals, including IRs, passes, build systems, and toolchains
  • Familiarity with source-control–heavy workflows (e.g., downstream vs. upstream repos, patch queues, rebasing strategies)
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with an emphasis on robust, maintainable developer infrastructure
  • Good communication and documentation skills; ability to collaborate across teams and time zones
