About the Role
High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are key markets for NVIDIA. Researchers and scientists actively embrace full-stack optimizations to accelerate their workloads and research. To help them onboard Accelerated Computing, NVIDIA leads a series of hackathons and bootcamps in partnership with national laboratories, universities, and enterprises. Hackathons are short—typically week-long—intensive coding sessions where experienced mentors team up with groups of researchers and data scientists to guide them through the acceleration or optimization of their projects across accelerated infrastructure and enterprise-grade software, using a variety of programming models, frameworks, and tools.We are looking for a Senior Developer Advocate Engineer to own the technical engagements for a rapidly growing Open Hackathons and Bootcamps program. In this position, you will closely collaborate with scientists at universities, supercomputing centers, and enterprise organizations to help their users start using the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack (CPU and GPU technologies) for their work, optimize codes and AI workflows, promote their research, and build a growing community. You will build strategic relationships with our partners, mentor at hackathons, and help craft materials to educate attendees and prepare them for hackathons. Do you have a passion for research, connecting people, and mentoring? If so, we would like to speak with you right away!
