We are seeking System Software Engineers to join our Accelerated Apache Spark team. As NVIDIA is leading the world in accelerated computing, we are building the next generation data processing ecosystem. Apache Spark is the most popular distributed data processing engine in data centers. It is used for a wide variety of workloads, from data preparation, feature generation, reporting, analytics, and more. Data scientists spend a considerable amount of time exploring data and iterating over machine learning (ML) experiments. Every hour of compute required to sort through datasets, extract features and fit ML algorithms impedes an efficient business workflow.

　　At NVIDIA, we are passionate about working on hard problems that have an impact. You will need to have strong programming skills, a deep understanding of software building and packaging, especially related to C++. You will work with a team that is using open source libraries – RAPIDS libcudf, RMM and cuIO – to accelerate operations in Apache Spark ETL and ML.

　　What you'll be doing:

　　Develop CUDA/C++ libraries that will be used by distributed data processing engines, accelerating operations in Apache Spark

　　Improve OSS RAPIDS through technical discussion and code contributions

　　Collaborate with distributed systems teams to craft solutions to distributed processing problems challenges at large scale

　　Provide recommendations and feedback to teams regarding decisions surrounding topics such as infrastructure, continuous integration and testing strategy

　　Build, test and optimize CUDA/C++ libraries across different platforms

　　Build automation and tools that will increase the efficiency of teams developing distributed systems

　　What we need to see:

　　BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related field or equivalent experience

　　8+ years of work experience in software development

　　Outstanding technical skills in designing and implementing high-quality distributed systems

　　Excellent programming skills in C++, Java, and/or Scala

　　Ability to work with multi-functional teams across boundaries and geographies

　　Highly motivated with strong interpersonal skills

　　Ways to stand out from the crowd:

　　Familiarity with RAPIDS libcudf, RMM and cuIO

　　Experience in writing performant distributed software at scale

　　Experience in OS kernel development

　　Experience with developing in CUDA on GPUs

　　Solid understanding of C++ 17/20
