NVIDIA is leading groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing and Visualization. The GPU -- our invention -- serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables groundbreaking creativity and discovery, and powers inventions that were once considered science fiction, including artificial intelligence to autonomous cars. We are the GPU Communications Libraries and Networking team at NVIDIA. We build communication libraries like NCCL, NVSHMEM, and UCX that are crucial for scaling Deep Learning and HPC. We're seeking a Senior Software Architect to help co-design next-gen data center platforms and scalable communications software. DL and HPC applications have huge compute demands and already run at scales of up to tens of thousands of GPUs. GPUs are connected with high-speed interconnects (e.g. NVLink, PCIe) within a node and with high-speed networking (e.g. InfiniBand, Ethernet) across nodes. Efficient and fast communication between GPUs directly impacts end-to-end application performance. This impact continues to grow with the increasing scale of next generation systems. This is an outstanding opportunity to advance the state-of-the-art, break performance barriers, and deliver platforms the world has never seen before. Are you ready to build the new and innovative technologies that will help realize NVIDIA's vision?
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You Will Be Doing
- Investigate opportunities to improve communication performance by identifying bottlenecks in today's systems.
- Design and implement new communication technologies to accelerate AI and HPC workloads.
- Explore innovative solutions in HW and SW for our next generation platforms as part of co-design efforts involving GPU, Networking, and SW architects.
- Build proofs-of-concept, conduct experiments, and perform quantitative modeling to evaluate and drive new innovations.
- Use simulation to explore performance of large GPU clusters (think scales of 100s of 1000s of GPUs).
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- M.S./Ph.D. degree in CS/CE or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of relevant experience.
- Excellent C/C++ programming and debugging skills.

- Solid in fundamentals of network architecture, topology, algorithms, and communication scaling relevant to AI and HPC workloads.
- Strong experience with Linux.
- Ability and flexibility to work and communicate effectively in a multi-national, multi-time-zone corporate environment.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Expertise in related technology and passion for what you do. Experience with CUDA programming and NVIDIA GPUs. Knowledge of high-performance networks like InfiniBand, RoCE, NVLink, etc.
- Experience with Deep Learning Frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc. Knowledge of deep learning parallelisms and mapping to the communication subsystem. Experience with HPC applications.
- Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills and a proven track record of effectively guiding and influencing within a dynamic and multi-functional environment.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. Applications for this job will be accepted at least until June 1, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy. NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Software Architect
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates whether your degree field directly relates to Software Architect duties. A three-year Australian bachelor's in computer science or software engineering is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but document that equivalency explicitly in your visa application.
Target employers with existing LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify companies that have certified LCAs for software architecture or systems design roles. Prior LCA activity signals an employer already understands the E-3 visa sponsorship process and is set up to move quickly.
Clarify the E-3 advantage over H-1B in interviews
When an employer raises H-1B visa sponsorship concerns, explain that the E-3 has no lottery, no annual cap, and can be filed directly at a U.S. consulate. Many hiring managers conflate the two, and your ability to explain the difference removes the most common objection before it stalls an offer.
Get your LCA certified before your consulate appointment
Your employer must file and receive a certified LCA from DOL before you can apply for the E-3 visa. The LCA certifies the offered wage meets prevailing wage levels for Software Architect roles in your work location. Filing early avoids delays if DOL requests additional documentation.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end support
Software Architect roles often involve complex work arrangements like remote teams or multi-site clients, which can complicate LCA location requirements. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA filing, visa paperwork, and consulate preparation, so these details don't fall through the cracks.
Confirm your job offer specifies a degree requirement
E-3 specialty occupation status depends on the role requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific field. If your offer letter says a degree is preferred rather than required, ask the employer to update the language before the LCA is filed, as officers flag this distinction during adjudication.
E-3 Visa Software Architect: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Software Architect jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Software Architect roles from employers who have active E-3 and LCA filing history, so you're not cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with Australian visa sponsorship. Filtering by role and visa type surfaces positions where the employer already understands the process, which significantly shortens the time from offer to filing.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Software Architect role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
Software Architect roles qualify as specialty occupations because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or information systems. USCIS looks at whether the degree requirement is inherent to the role, not just preferred. Job descriptions that frame the degree as optional can create complications, so confirm the requirement is explicit in your offer letter and LCA before filing.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Software Architect roles?
The E-3 and H-1B both cover Software Architect roles as specialty occupations, but the practical experience is very different. The H-1B is subject to an annual lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection rate, while the E-3 has a 10,500-annual allocation that has never been exhausted. You can apply for the E-3 directly at a U.S. consulate in Australia without waiting for a fiscal year cycle, which means faster starts after an offer.
Can I change employers or projects while on an E-3 visa as a Software Architect?
You can change employers on an E-3, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp reflecting the updated sponsorship before re-entering the U.S. If you're already inside the country, some attorneys advise a change of status filing, but most E-3 holders renew at a consulate when switching roles. There's no portability provision like the one that exists for certain other visa categories.
