Principal Distributed System Software Engineer (Apache Spark) - (Champaign, IL)

NVIDIA is seeking experienced Principal Distributed System Software Engineer to accelerate Apache Spark and related frameworks for data science. Data scientists spend a considerable amount of time exploring data, iterating over machine learning (ML) experiments. Every hour of compute required to sort through datasets, extract features, fit ML algorithms, hinders the expertise of data scientists to drive towards results. Apache Spark is the most popular data processing engine in data centers for data science. It is used for interactive data science, from data preparation, to running ML experiments, and all the way to deployment of ML applications. In this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with the open source community to accelerate Apache Spark with GPU for data science. NVIDIA believes that data science workflows can benefit tremendously from being accelerated, to enable data scientists to explore many more and larger datasets to drive towards their business goals, faster, and more reliably.
