About the job

Develop open-source software for distributed GPU inference, expanding NVIDIA Dynamo to support agentic workloads and improve performance, state management, and model-serving APIs.

What you'll do

  • Build disaggregated and distributed inference capabilities across Dynamo-supported engines, including support for agentic workloads.
  • Develop inference-state management and cache reuse/transfer to improve latency, throughput, GPU utilization, and costs.
  • Build and evolve the distributed inference frontend, balancing scalability, request scheduling, latency, and throughput.

What they ask for

  • Master’s or PhD, or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Excellent Rust/Python programming and software design skills, including debugging, performance analysis, and test design.
  • Understanding of modern LLM API semantics, including structured outputs, tool calling, reasoning controls, token accounting, context management, and multimodal inputs.

Nice to have

  • Prior contributions to open-source AI inference frameworks such as vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, or SGLang.
  • Experience optimizing GPU memory, KV and prefix caches, or high-performance networking for relevant workloads.

Pay

224,000 USD - 356,500 USD (base salary, Level 5); 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD (base salary, Level 6)

Tools

Rust, Python, vLLM, SGLang, TRT-LLM, TensorRT-LLM, NIXL

AI focus

Develop generative AI inference software for trained models on GPUs, including agentic inference with long-horizon reasoning, tool calling, and stateful multi-turn execution.
