Senior Developer Advocate Engineer

About the Senior Developer Advocate Engineer Role at NVIDIA

High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are core markets for NVIDIA. Researchers and scientists leverage full-stack optimizations to accelerate their workloads and research. To support the adoption of Accelerated Computing, NVIDIA spearheads a series of hackathons and bootcamps, collaborating with national laboratories, universities, and enterprises. These hackathons are typically intensive, week-long coding sessions where experienced mentors guide groups of researchers and data scientists in accelerating or optimizing their projects on accelerated infrastructure and enterprise-grade software, utilizing diverse programming models, frameworks, and tools.

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Developer Advocate Engineer to lead the technical engagements for its rapidly expanding Open Hackathons and Bootcamps program. In this role, you will work closely with scientists at universities, supercomputing centers, and enterprise organizations. Your mission will be to help their users integrate the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack (CPU and GPU technologies) into their work, optimize codes and AI workflows, promote their research, and cultivate a thriving community. You will establish strategic relationships with partners, mentor at hackathons, and contribute to crafting educational materials to prepare attendees for these events. If you possess a passion for research, connecting people, and mentoring, NVIDIA invites you to connect immediately!
