Full Job Description
NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s an outstanding 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. NVIDIA’s open-source benchmarking platform, AIPerf, is the growing standard for assessing LLM serving performance across various inference frameworks. Hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises use AIPerf to inform decisions on production inference. This includes choosing GPUs, optimizing costs, reducing latency, improving efficiency, and scaling. As Technical Lead Manager, you will lead the engineering team within NVIDIA’s Dynamo organization. Your responsibility is to build and advance the platform so AIPerf becomes the leading benchmarking tool for datacenter, local, and edge use cases. This span LLM, multimodal, diffusion, and computer vision inference. This position combines hands-on leadership with expertise in systems engineering, inference infrastructure, and open-source communities. It has a direct effect on how AI performance is measured and pushed forward. **What you 'll be doing:** * Driving the technical roadmap for AIPerf's core infrastructure: load generation, ZMQ-based microservices, GPU telemetry (DCGM/PyNVML, Prometheus metrics, statistical confidence intervals, and Kubernetes-native deployment. * Taking ownership for the accuracy and statistical soundness of benchmark results that engineering groups throughout the industry depend on to inform production i
