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.

We are looking for a Senior HPC and AI Network Software Architect to help build the next generation of scalable AI infrastructure. The role emphasizes distributed training, real-time inference, and communication efficiency across large systems. You will develop new software and hardware approaches, shape platform evolution through hands-on innovation, and contribute to designing systems powering the fastest AI workloads globally. Collaborate with our distinguished team of researchers and engineers building software and hardware for AI at an outstanding scale.

What you will be doing:

  • Build and evolve the architecture of scalable software systems for distributed AI training and inference, focusing on throughput, latency, resiliency, and memory efficiency across cluster-scale deployments.

  • Develop and evaluate next-generation communication and runtime capabilities in libraries such as NCCL, UCX, and UCC, tailored to the evolving demands of frontier AI workloads.

  • Partner with AI framework teams (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX) and internal platform teams to build integrations, explore new approaches, and improve end-to-end performance and reliability.

  • Collaborate on hardware and system-level features across GPUs, DPUs, and interconnects to speed up data movement and enable new capabilities for training, inference, and model serving at scale.

  • Drive innovation across runtime systems, communication libraries, and AI-specific protocol layers, helping turn new ideas into practical capabilities and robust implementations.

What we need to see:

  • Ph.D., or equivalent industry experience, in computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related field.

  • 5+ years of experience in systems programming, parallel or distributed computing, high-performance networking, or large-scale data movement, including experience designing and building complex systems.

  • Strong programming background in C++, Python, and ideally CUDA or other GPU programming models, with a track record of building production-quality performance-critical software.

  • Extensive hands-on experience with AI frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) and a solid grasp of how communication libraries and runtime systems facilitate large-scale training and inference.

  • Demonstrated success in developing and refining high-throughput, low-latency systems, including the ability to reason across software stacks, hardware capabilities, and system bottlenecks.

  • Strong collaboration skills in a multi-national, interdisciplinary setting, with the ability to contribute ideas, build momentum, and work effectively with senior engineers, researchers, and partner teams.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Deep expertise with NCCL, UCX, UCC, or similar communication libraries used in large-scale AI and HPC workloads.

  • Strong background in networking and communication protocols, RDMA, collective communications, congestion-aware transport, or accelerator-aware networking.

  • Comprehensive knowledge of large model training and inference serving at scale, including communication bottlenecks, scheduling challenges, and system-level tradeoffs across compute, memory, and fabric.

  • Experience crafting hardware-software co-design for distributed AI systems, including contributions that advanced GPU, DPU, interconnect, or runtime capabilities.

  • Familiarity with infrastructure for deployment of LLMs or transformer-based models, including sharding, pipelining, expert parallelism, or hybrid parallelism.

At NVIDIA, you’ll work alongside individuals who are dedicated to continuous learning and creative problem-solving in the industry, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI and high-performance computing. If you're passionate about architecting distributed systems, advancing AI infrastructure, and solving problems at scale, we want to hear from you!

Widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. For Poland: The base salary range is 221,250 PLN - 383,500 PLN for Level 3, and 292,500 PLN - 507,000 PLN for Level 4.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
