Sponsorship possible
One solid signal, not two — worth applying, and worth asking about sponsorship early.
- Employer is on a government sponsor recordThe US Department of Labor certified 2,374 H-1B/E-3 labor condition applications for this employer between Oct 2025 and Jun 2026 (latest Jun 2026) — the step every H-1B hire needs first. USCIS also records 394 H-1B approvals in FY2023. Source: LCA disclosure data (US Department of Labor (OFLC)).
- The posting doesn’t mention sponsorshipSilence isn’t a refusal — ask the recruiter before investing much time.
- No salary bar for this routeH-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

About the role
We are the GPU Communications Libraries and Networking team at NVIDIA. We deliver communication libraries like NCCL, NVSHMEM, UCX for Deep Learning and HPC. DL and HPC applications have a huge compute demand already and run on scales which go up to tens of thousands of GPUs. The GPUs are connected with high-speed interconnects (eg. NVLink, PCIe) within a node and with high-speed networking (eg. Infiniband, Ethernet) across the nodes. Communication performance between the GPUs has a direct impact on the end-to-end application performance; and the stakes are even higher at huge scales! We are looking for a technical leader to manage our NVSHMEM and UCX libraries. This is an outstanding opportunity to push the limits on the state-of-the-art and deliver platforms the world has never seen before. Are you ready for to contribute to the development of innovative technologies and help realize NVIDIA's vision? What you will be doing: • Lead, mentor, and grow your library engineering team and be responsible for the planning and execution of projects as well as the quality, and performance of your libraries. • This is a technical leadership role so you will participate in feature design and implementation. • Interact with internal and external partners and researchers to understand their use cases and requirements. Collaborate with engineering teams, program and product management, and partners to define the product roadmap. • Continuously review and identify improvement opportunities in established processes, infrastructure, and practices to ensure the teams are executing in the most efficient and transparent manner. What we need to see: • 10+ overall years of experience in the software industry with specialization in HPC networking or system software. • 4+ years of management experience. • BS, MS, or Ph.D. in CS, CE, EE (related technical field) or equivalent experience. • Prior systems software or communication runtime or high performance networking software development experience with a successful track record of taking several complex software features or products through the full product life cycle. • Strong understanding of computer system architecture, operating systems principles (aka systems software fundamentals), HW-SW interactions and performance analysis/optimizations. • Excellent C/C++ programming and debugging skills in Linux. • Experience balancing multiple projects with competing priorities. • Flexibility to work and communicate effectively across different teams and timezones. Ways to stand out from the crowd: • Experience with parallel programming models (MPI, SHMEM) and at least one communication runtime (MPI, NCCL, NVSHMEM, OpenSHMEM, UCX, UCC). Experience with programming using CUDA, MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC, pthreads. • Background with RDMA, high-performance networking technologies (InfiniBand, RoCE, Ethernet, EFA), network architecture and network topologies. Knowledge of HPC and ML/DL fundamentals. • Experience with Deep Learning Frameworks such PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc. NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
