Job description
We are seeking a GPU Systems Engineer with deep expertise in CUDA programming, GPU architecture, and high-performance computing to design and optimize compute-intensive workloads on modern accelerator hardware. This role focuses on extracting maximum performance from GPU platforms for AI training, inference, scientific computing, and high-throughput data processing workloads. The ideal candidate combines low-level systems mastery with strong software engineering practices, and has a track record of delivering measurable performance improvements on production GPU systems. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners - product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders - to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production., * Design and implement high-performance CUDA kernels for compute-intensive workloads across AI and HPC use cases.
- Profile and optimize GPU code using tools such as Nsight Systems, Nsight Compute, and CUDA profilers.
- Tune memory access patterns, occupancy, register usage, and shared memory utilization for peak performance.
- Develop highly optimized libraries for linear algebra, attention, and other ML primitives.
- Optimize multi-GPU and multi-node training using NCCL, RDMA, and high-performance networking.
- Implement custom operators and fused kernels in PyTorch, JAX, or Triton.
- Collaborate with ML engineers to identify performance bottlenecks in training and inference pipelines.
- Develop benchmarks and regression tests to safeguard performance over time.
- Evaluate new GPU architectures and feature sets, and advise on adoption strategy.
- Contribute to compiler-level optimizations for tensor programs where appropriate, working at the boundary between ML frameworks and underlying accelerator codegen to unlock performance not reachable through framework-level tuning alone.
- Optimize memory hierarchy usage across HBM, L2, shared memory, and registers.
- Implement mixed-precision and quantized compute paths that maximize accelerator throughput while preserving numerical fidelity within bounds acceptable for the target workloads.
- Document performance characteristics, design decisions, and tuning playbooks for internal teams.
- Stay current with GPU architecture, CUDA evolution, and emerging accelerator technologies., As an AI Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of AI systems by applying your domain expertise to train next-generation models. Your contributions will enhan…
