INTRODUCTION
NVIDIA seeks a senior software engineer to join the AI Networking co-design and benchmark R&D team. In this pivotal role, the candidate is responsible for building and productizing machine learning tools. These include tools that use ML-based combinatorial optimization and build space exploration (DSE) techniques. These tools will be employed to optimize AI workloads across large GPU and CPU clusters, thereby ensuring the most efficient and productive utilization of system resources at data center scale. The role involves working on distributed Deep Learning, particularly within LLM training and inference stacks. A strong passion for collective communication and networking is desirable. The candidate will interact with diverse hardware and platforms, such as Host Channel Adapters (HCAs), Switches, CPUs, GPUs, and complete Systems.
Furthermore, the role requires engagement across multiple software layers, including LLM applications, machine learning frameworks, and communication and computing libraries. The candidate will develop tools and methodologies using Machine Learning (ML) for comprehensive performance analysis and optimization, potentially incorporating learning-based agentic techniques. This work involves deep-diving across the software stack, from LLM applications and ML frameworks down to communication and computing libraries. This position offers a distinct opportunity to make significant contributions to the core infrastructure powering the next generation of large-scale AI systems.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and implement resource allocation and combinatorial optimization techniques (e.g., reinforcement learning, LLM agents for DSE, Bayesian optimization and other multi-objective optimization techniques) to optimize LLM models at datacenter scale.
- Research, develop, and deploy AI/ML techniques to optimize large-scale Deep Learning (LLM) training and inference on NVIDIA supercomputers and distributed systems. This includes a focus on high-performance networking and NVIDIA communication libraries.
- Build and productionize ML-based tools for performance prediction and optimization, with a strong emphasis on networking aspects.
- Develop and deploy a scalable, reliable data curation pipeline capable of handling complex data types, such as time series and PyTorch model graphs, to effectively support the training of high-performance Machine Learning models.
- Collaborate across hardware and software teams to deliver valuable performance analysis insights.
- Lead performance test planning, establish performance targets for new technologies and solutions, and drive efforts to achieve those performance goals.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Experience applying machine learning techniques to computer architecture and system optimization problems. Desired experience involves leveraging ML at the intersection of at least two of the following areas: HPC, networking, and AI applications.
- Hands-on experience developing and deploying various learning algorithms (e.g., reinforcement learning, offline RL, supervised learning) to tackle optimization challenges within computer architecture, system design, or networking domains.
- Proficiency in building and using ML models with leading frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, or JAX.
- Proven ability to apply GNNs/transformers-based optimization to PyTorch model graph and Kineto execution traces.
- Expertise combining knowledge of NVIDIA GPUs, the CUDA library, and deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow/PyTorch) with networking concepts, including collective communication libraries (like NCCL) and protocols (such as RoCE and RDMA).
- Strong programming capabilities in Python, Bash, and C++.
- A collaborative teammate with effective communication and interpersonal abilities.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- In-depth knowledge and experience with machine learning/reinforcement learning and frameworks.
- Comprehensive understanding of computer architecture, system architecture and networking.
- Extensive experience in applying machine learning techniques such as GNNs or related graph-based models.
- Knowledge in PyTorch, CUDA, and NCCL libraries.
- Proven software engineering/development skills.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Software Engineer AI
Translate your Australian degree credentials clearly
U.S. employers and consular officers assess whether your Australian bachelor's degree maps to a U.S. four-year degree. A three-year Australian CS or engineering degree is generally accepted, but get a credential evaluation letter ready before applications start.
Filter AI roles by specialty occupation alignment
Not every 'AI engineer' job posting qualifies under E-3 specialty occupation rules. Look for postings that explicitly require a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field, roles listing 'any degree' or 'equivalent experience' create LCA complications at the consulate.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified E-3 sponsors
Many AI teams assume only H-1B sponsorship is available. Migrate Mate surfaces employers with active E-3 filing history so you target companies that already understand the process, saving time on educating hiring managers about your visa status.
Ask about LCA timing before accepting an offer
Your employer must file a certified LCA with DOL before you can schedule your consulate appointment. DOL targets seven business days for certification, but factor this into your start date negotiation so you're not caught waiting after signing.
Position AI specializations as specialty occupation evidence
Machine learning, generative AI, and computer vision roles carry stronger specialty occupation arguments when the job description ties specific technical skills to a degree field. Ask your employer to reference the SOC code for software developers in your offer letter and LCA.
File paperwork through Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. It covers DOL submission, DS-160 preparation, and consulate appointment readiness without the cost of a traditional immigration attorney.

Find Software Engineer AI JobsSoftware Engineer AI E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Software Engineer AI jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It filters roles by E-3 sponsorship history so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never sponsored an Australian before. AI engineering is a high-demand specialty, but not every team knows the E-3 exists, targeting employers with a filing track record shortens the process significantly.
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 Engineer AI role qualify as a specialty occupation under the E-3?
Yes, in most cases. The E-3 requires the role to normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Software engineering and AI roles tied to computer science, machine learning, or data science degrees meet this standard consistently. Roles written broadly, such as 'AI specialist' with no degree field requirement, can create issues at the LCA stage, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Software Engineer AI roles?
The E-3 has a 10,500-per-year cap that has never been fully used, meaning there's no lottery and no wait for an annual registration window. H-1B selection is randomized and limited to roughly 85,000 slots per year, with most computer and AI roles competing in a heavily oversubscribed pool. For Australian citizens, the E-3 is the faster and more predictable path into a U.S. AI engineering role.
Can I change employers or switch to an AI-focused team after arriving on an E-3?
Yes. The E-3 is employer-specific, so switching roles requires your new employer to file a fresh LCA with DOL and support a new visa application. There's no formal portability provision like H-1B has under AC21, but the process is straightforward. You can begin working for the new employer after USCIS approves a change of status, or after attending a consulate appointment if you're outside the U.S.
