For two decades, we have 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 video games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Today, we stand at the beginning of the next era, the AI computing era, ignited by a new computing model, GPU deep learning. This new model - where deep neural networks are trained to recognize patterns from massive amounts of data - has shown to be deeply effective at solving some of the most complex problems in everyday life. 

NVIDIA runs one of the largest Perforce installations in the world, and a very large Git installation as well. Our Software Configuration Management (SCM) Tools and Infrastructure group is looking for an SCM Operations Lead.
