We are now looking for a Senior System Software Engineer to work on Dynamo. NVIDIA is hiring software engineers for its GPU-accelerated deep learning software team. Academic and commercial groups around the world are using GPUs to power a revolution in AI, enabling breakthroughs in problems from image classification to speech recognition to natural language processing. We are a fast-paced team building Generative AI inference platform to make design and deployment of new AI models easier and accessible to all users.

What you'll be doing:

In this role, you will develop open source software to serve inference of trained AI models running on GPUs. You will

• Contribute to the development of disaggregated serving for Dynamo-supported inference engines (vLLM, SGLang, TRT-LLM) and expand to support multi-modal models for embedding disaggregation.

• Innovate in the management and transfer of large KV caches across heterogeneous memory and storage hierarchies, using the NVIDIA Optimized Transfer Library (NIXL) for low-latency, cost-effective data movement.

• Build new features to the Dynamo Rust Runtime Core Library and design, implement, and optimize distributed inference components in Rust and Python.

• Balance a variety of objectives: build robust, scalable, high performance software components to support our distributed inference workloads; work with team leads to prioritize features and capabilities; load-balance asynchronous requests across available resources; optimize prediction throughput under latency constraints; and integrate the latest open source technology.

What we need to see:

• Masters or PhD or equivalent experience

• 3+ years in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, agile team environment

• Excellent Rust/Python/C++ programming and software design skills, including debugging, performance analysis, and test design.

• Experience with high scale distributed systems and ML systems

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Prior contributions to open-source AI inference frameworks (e.g., vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang).

• Experience with GPU memory management, cache management, or high-performance networking.

• Understanding of LLM-specific inference challenges, such as context window scaling and multi-model agentic and reasoning workflows.

• Prior experience with disaggregated serving and multi modal models (Vision-Language models, Audio Language Models, Video Language Models)
