## About the Role

* BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
 * Minimum of 8+ years of related development experience
 * Strong programming skills in C++, Python, or both, with proven interest in systems-level software (performance, memory, concurrency, API design).
 * Solid understanding of modern C++ (templates, generics, standard library) and/or Python library development and packaging.
 * Practical experience with parallel or heterogeneous programming (CUDA, OpenMP, GPU-accelerated Python, or similar).
 * Experience contributing to production software or open-source libraries, including testing, profiling, and code review.
 * Ability to work independently, scope problems, and drive projects to completion.
 * Clear written communication for technical design and documentation.
 * Comfort navigating large, multi-language codebases (C++, Python, CMake, Pixi, CI systems).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

 * Strong understanding of CPU/GPU architecture and how hardware details affect performance.
 * Hands-on experience with CUDA C++, CUDA Python, PyTorch, JAX, Numba, CuPy, or similar GPU-accelerated stacks.
 * Familiarity with Thrust, CUB, libcudacxx, or other modern C++/GPU libraries.
 * Experience with compiler infrastructure or tooling (LLVM, Clang tooling, MLIR).
 * Demonstrated interest in developer tools, library design, and making other developers faster., If you care deeply about performance, enjoy working at the C++/Python boundary, and want to shape the core CUDA libraries relied on by thousands of developers, this role is a direct fit.

## Description

* Develop and implement CUDA Core Libraries in C++ and/or Python, including parallel algorithms and idiomatic language bindings for core CUDA functionality.
 * Compose, optimize, and evolve GPU algorithms and APIs, from high-level interfaces down to low-level performance tuning involving memory, parallelism, and synchronization.
 * Own features end-to-end: develop, implementation, testing, benchmarking, documentation, and long-term maintenance.
 * Improve developer experience across the stack: CI, tests, benchmarks, packaging, examples, and docs.
 * Collaborate with senior CUDA engineers in design reviews, code reviews, and open-source-style workflows.
 * Engage with real users through issues, performance investigations, and API feedback.
