Senior Distributed Acceleration Engineer, RAPIDS

NVIDIA is looking to hire a Senior Distributed Acceleration Engineer to work on RAPIDS, a suite of open-source software libraries that accelerates end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines on GPUs. RAPIDS relies on NVIDIA CUDA for low-level compute optimization but exposes high-performance GPU computing through user-friendly Python interfaces. We’re rapidly growing the team passionate about building and optimizing how RAPIDS can leverage multiple GPUs for distributed execution. The team’s charter is to explore, develop, and architect multi-GPU engines for RAPIDS (GPU ETL, ML) based workflows with an emphasis on single-node multi-GPU configurations.

In this role, you will develop, benchmark, and explore novel tuned custom solutions, as well as existing open-source engines, like Dask, Ray, Spark, and more, which can achieve high-performance goals for multi-GPU workloads. This is a great chance to take advantage of your distributed systems knowledge, CUDA C++, and Python programming skills. You’ll work closely with the RAPIDS group of stellar engineers building highly optimized multi-GPU CUDA libraries.

What you'll be doing:

• Analyze, design, and implement optimized GPU algorithms for large-scale data analytics and machine learning

• Architect and implement distributed GPU algorithms for dense multi-GPU single-node machines and more generally for multi-GPU multi-node environments

• Expand and improve integration of RAPIDS into relevant high-level frameworks

• Drive performance analysis, benchmarking, and troubleshooting of associated libraries.

• Collaborate with a multi-functional team to understand requirements and implement or improve solutions

What we need to see:

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering or related field in Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision or equivalent experience.

• 5+ years of proven experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Math, or related field

• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, algorithms, and mathematics fundamentals.

• Distributed System experience and development

• Excellent software development skills: programming, debugging, performance analysis, and test design

• Good communication and documentation habits.

• Ability to work independently and manage your own development efforts.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience developing distributed algorithms and running on distributed systems: HPC, Cloud, etc

• Experience with debugging multi-language and multi-hardware systems

• Experience with the PyData Stack: NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Dask,

• Prior work on open-source projects

• GPU programming knowledge is a plus, but if you don’t have it, we’re happy to teach you
