You will design and optimize high-performance algorithms and APIs for C++ developers. You will join the team building the foundational libraries, algorithms, and language/runtime infrastructure that make CUDA a speed-of-light experience for developers and AI coding agents alike., * BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience and 8+ years of relevant software-development experience. * Strong production programming skills in C and C++, with deep knowledge of modern C++. * Experience with generic programming, templates, type systems, and standard-library design principles. * Proven experience developing systems-level software with demanding performance, concurrency, and compatibility requirements. * Practical experience with CUDA or another parallel or heterogeneous programming environment. * Experience developing production software or foundational libraries, including testing, profiling, benchmarking, and code review. * Understanding of API and ABI compatibility and the challenges of exposing C/C++ functionality to other languages. * Ability to work independently, define project scope, and drive complex work to completion. * Clear written communication skills for architecture documents, API specifications, and developer documentation. * Comfort working in large C/C++ codebases with build systems, toolchains, and continuous-integration infrastructure. Ways to stand out from the crowd: * Strong understanding of CPU/GPU architecture and performance optimization, with hands-on experience in GPU-accelerated stacks (CUDA C++/Python, PyTorch, JAX, Numba, CuPy, or similar). * Proficiency with modern C++ and GPU libraries such as Thrust, CUB, and libcudacxx. * Experience with compiler infrastructure and tooling, including LLVM, Clang, or MLIR. * Knowledge of binary interfaces, linking, versioning, cross-platform distribution, and interoperability across Python, Rust, and C/C++ stacks. * Demonstrated interest in developer tools, library design, and improving developer productivity. ## Description * Design and implement foundational CUDA C++ libraries, parallel algorithms, utilities, and runtime abstractions. * Compose and optimize GPU algorithms from high-level generic interfaces through low-level implementation. * Design stable interoperability boundaries that allow core C/C++ functionality to be consumed efficiently from Python and Rust. * Balance performance, compile time, portability, compatibility, usability, and long-term API evolution. * Own features throughout their lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, profiling, benchmarking, documentation, release, and maintenance. * Improve developer productivity through diagnostics, examples, build integration, tests, benchmarks, and continuous integration. * Collaborate with Python, Rust, compiler, and runtime engineers during architecture, design, and code reviews. * Engage with users on performance investigations, API feedback, and correctness issues. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
