Senior Research Engineer - AI Coding Tools

Responsibilities

• Build and improve novel coding agents that help NVIDIA developers write, optimize, and maintain CUDA code — and that work alongside other AI agents in the developer's workflow
• Design and ship evaluations, including extensions of our public ComputeEval benchmark, that measure what really matters in AI-powered CUDA development
• Fine-tune and specialize code LLMs, and partner with the Nemotron team on the datasets and evaluations that feed NVIDIA's foundation models
• Develop Agent Skills, MCP servers, and other tool-use interfaces that make NVIDIA's developer tools (Nsight Compute, Nsight Systems, and more) first-class for AI agents
• Generate, curate, and validate synthetic training and evaluation data for CUDA programming
• Deliver "net new knowledge" to frontier LLMs through RAG and skill-based systems that keep models current with NVIDIA's fast-moving software stack
• Collaborate with partner product teams to turn research prototypes into shipping features used inside NVIDIA and by external customers
• What we need to see
• B.S. in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent experience (M.S. or Ph.D. a plus)
• 12+ years of industry experience in applied AI/ML, with meaningful recent work in the AI-for-code space — coding agents, code LLMs, AI developer tools, or adjacent systems
