[Remote] Senior Software Engineer, Agentic AI

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. NVIDIA is a leader in AI and deep learning, transforming industries with innovative technology. They are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to develop core libraries for Agentic Applications, focusing on building foundational technology for autonomous systems and enhancing developer productivity.ResponsibilitiesTrack and understand evolving agent development patterns across NVIDIA and the broader ecosystem, maintaining current knowledge of both research and commercial productsDevelop open-source libraries and tools which accelerate and optimize agent harnesses and frameworks ensuring top-tier performance, accuracy, quality, and stabilityBenchmark the latest agents to identify bottlenecks and build creative solutions to increase performance, reduce cost, and improve latencyWork closely with teams building high-performance data pipelines, RAG systems, vector databases, and GPU-optimized training and inference workflows to deliver best-in-class agentic applicationsIdentify gaps and friction in current agent architectures, and translate insights into agentic tools that boosts developer velocity and agent quality—backed by evaluations, benchmarking, and feedback loopsSkillsBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Math, or a related field, or equivalent experience8+ years experience in at least one of Rust, Python, Go, or Node.js, with working familiarity in at least one moreSolid understanding of asynchronous programming, callbacks, request lifecycles, and event-driven systemsHands-on experience with evolving agent architectures, multiple agents frameworks and agent harnessesProficiency in LLM applications, agent workflows, tool calls, and model-provider APIsAbility to design or extend cross-language APIs with attention to consistency, usability, stability, and backwards compatibilitySystems-level debugging and performance intuition: able to trace execution from high-level API calls through runtime internals, language bindings, callbacks, serialization, and event emission to understand overhead and optimize hot pathsStrong interpersonal skills, enabling direct contact and effective collaboration with the open source communityExperience building evaluation/benchmarking systems for agent workflows (metrics, regression, feedback loops)Rust systems work, especially async Rust, Tokio, serde, API design, or runtime state management and /or Python native extension experience with PyO3, maturin, or Python/Rust bindingsInstrumenting third-party frameworks without changing user-visible behavior. Knowledge of OpenTelemetry, tracing, structured events, exporters, or observability pipelines are a plusMiddleware, plugin systems, guardrails, policy engines, or request/response interception and maintaining open-source libraries, SDKs, or internal developer platformsProfiling or optimizing runtime/library overhead across language boundaries, async execution, native bindings, serialization, tracing, or middleware pipelinesBenefitsYou will also be eligible for equity and [benefits](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/benefits/).Company OverviewNVIDIA is a computing platform company operating at the intersection of graphics, HPC, and AI.
