C++ Software Engineer – AI Developer Tools

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Develop production-quality C++ components, APIs, and integrations for NVIDIA’s AI-powered developer-tools ecosystem.
• Build capabilities connecting native C++ tools with Genie’s retrieval and agentic features.
• Contribute to agentic workflows, retrieval systems, ingestion pipelines, MCP tools, APIs, and enterprise integrations.
• Build benchmarks and improve retrieval quality, reliability, performance, and resource usage.
• Own features from investigation and design through implementation, testing, and delivery.
• Collaborate with graphics, software, and hardware teams developing performance-analysis and developer tools.

What We Need to See:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of modern C++ programming skills gained through professional experience, internships, or substantial technical projects.
• Good understanding of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, multithreading, debugging, and testing.
• Ability and motivation to work across C++ systems and Python-based AI services.
• Familiarity with AI-powered applications, agentic workflows, retrieval systems, or related technologies.
• Ability to investigate unfamiliar problems, learn new technologies, and follow work through to completion.
• Good communication and collaboration skills, with openness to technical feedback.

Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd:

• Experience building substantial C++ applications, developer tools, or performance-sensitive systems.
• Familiarity with C++ performance analysis, concurrency, memory management, or large codebases.
• Hands-on experience with RAG, semantic search, embeddings, vector databases, or retrieval evaluation.
• Experience with MCP, REST APIs, structured tool calling, or agent frameworks.
• Knowledge of GPU architecture, graphics APIs, game engines, or application-performance optimization.
