Senior Software Engineer, Graphics Performance

NVIDIA's invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing.

More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI - the next era of computing - with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world.

Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company”.

We are growing our company and the team with the smartest people in the world.
