Job Description
NVIDIA is the platform upon which every new AI‑powered application is built. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer – AI Inference to advance open‑source LLM serving by contributing directly to upstream inference engines like vLLM and SGLang-ensuring they run best‑in‑class on NVIDIA GPUs and systems-and by improving the underlying stack that enables high‑throughput, low‑latency inference at scale.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys digging into performance bottlenecks, designing pragmatic runtime improvements, and shipping high‑quality changes that are broadly useful to the community and production deployments.
What you'll be doing:
+ Contribute features, fixes, and optimizations upstream to vLLM/SGLang: author PRs, participate in reviews, write benchmarks/tests, and help drive designs to completion.
+ Implement and optimize inference‑runtime capabilities: batching and scheduling policies, streaming, request lifecycle management...
