Job description
The NVIDIA PerfTech team is looking for a talented C++ Software Engineer to help build the next generation of AI-powered developer tools. You will apply strong C++ and software-engineering fundamentals while gaining hands-on experience with agentic workflows, retrieval systems, and AI services.
In this role, you will contribute to Genie, NVIDIA’s company-wide AI knowledge and developer-productivity service. You will work across C++ tools and AI services to help engineers find information, understand complex systems, and work more effectively.
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.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for NVIDIA. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
