Responsibilities
- Build developer tooling and workflows that accelerate kernel development, performance optimization, debugging, integration, and deployment.
- Develop observability, diagnostics, and validation infrastructure for AI-assisted optimization systems.
- Optimize production kernels by formulating optimization problems, running search loops, analyzing bottlenecks, debugging generated implementations, and delivering production improvements.
- Design abstractions, interfaces, and automation systems for kernel optimization, correctness validation, and hardware-software co-design.
- Improve AI-assisted optimization systems using better datasets, evaluations, benchmarking, and research infrastructure.
- Partner with research and engineering teams to translate new ideas into practical production systems and long-term infrastructure.
Requirements
- Strong systems or tooling engineering experience in low-level software, performance optimization, or infrastructure.
- Experience with developer tooling, debugging infrastructure, profiling, observability, or technical-user workflow design.
- Depth in kernel development, accelerator architecture, compiler systems, or related performance-critical domains.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted systems, agentic workflows, post-training, or reinforcement learning for engineering or research applications.
- Hands-on experience optimizing code for GPUs, high-performance CPUs, or custom accelerators is preferred.
- Interest in compilers, DSLs, program synthesis, or AI for systems is preferred.
- Ability to work across software and hardware boundaries and between research exploration and production execution.
- Candidates may need to meet legal status requirements under U.S. export control laws and regulations.
