NVIDIA
World's first $5T public company — designs the GPUs and AI infrastructure that power most of modern AI training and inference.
What is NVIDIA?
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the dominant AI-infrastructure company of the modern era. Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang (CEO since founding), Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, the company is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. Originally a graphics chip designer for PC gaming, NVIDIA pivoted into general-purpose compute via CUDA in 2006 — a bet that compounded into today's AI-training and inference dominance. The product family spans Blackwell (current flagship for AI training and inference, delivering order-of-magnitude lower cost-per-token vs predecessors), Vera Rubin (next-gen, 10× perf-per-watt over Blackwell, 1.3M components per system), DGX systems, GeForce RTX, Tegra, DRIVE (automotive), Omniverse (simulation), Jetson (robotics), and the CUDA / AI Enterprise software stack. Financially: **Q4 FY2026 revenue $81.6B**, +85% YoY; Q1 FY2027 guided to $78B; Jensen Huang projected **$1 trillion in Blackwell + Vera Rubin orders through 2027**. NVIDIA became the **first $5 trillion public company in October 2025** and has spent 2026 in a band no other public company has ever held.
Mission & values
Solve problems that only NVIDIA can — be the engine of modern AI by building accelerated computing platforms that compound a decade of CUDA software, networking, and silicon innovation into the most capable AI factories on the planet.
Qualifications
NVIDIA hires across silicon design (GPU architecture, ASIC, memory, signal integrity, power), systems (DGX, networking, NVLink, InfiniBand, Ethernet), software (CUDA, drivers, compilers, libraries, AI Enterprise, Omniverse), research (AI/ML, robotics, simulation, graphics), product, design, sales, customer success, marketing, finance, legal, supply chain, and people. The company has 70+ offices globally with major presence in Santa Clara (HQ), Austin, Redmond, Tel Aviv (large engineering center post-Mellanox), Bengaluru, Taipei, Tokyo, and Munich. **Most engineering roles are hybrid with proximity to a major office**; select roles are US-remote-eligible.
