For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has expanded to encompass PC games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis, scientific research and all things AI. Today, AI and visual computing are becoming increasingly central to how people interact with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team.
We are now looking for a Principal Developer Technology Engineer to focus on advanced rendering, including path tracing and neural graphics, and the broader adoption of AI technology in games.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Collaborate with some of the most innovative, leading AAA developers throughout the world to optimize GPU and system performance, to ensure the fastest and most fluid gameplay with beautiful path traced neural rendering and complex AI behaviors.
- Develop, profile, optimize, and tune neural rendering algorithms and AI models to make the most of available computing resources.
- Collaborate with the architecture and driver teams at NVIDIA in ensuring the best possible experience on current generation hardware, and on determining trends and features for next generation architectures.
- Play with the latest GPU technology to develop new techniques using GPUs, build technical demos, write whitepapers and present your work at conferences.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
