We are seeking a Senior Systems Performance Engineer to build our next generation of profiling infrastructure. You will be responsible for measuring, analyzing, and optimizing the interaction between extensive design graphs in system memory and high-throughput kernels on the GPU. Join us to push the boundaries of what's possible in the future of computing! What you'll be doing: + Architecting and maintaining custom profiling frameworks that provide a unified view of execution across CPU (multi-core/multi-socket) and GPU (multi-node/NVLink) environments. + Conducting deep-dive benchmarking of EDA applications to characterize memory access patterns, cache hit rates, and instruction-level parallelism. + Using GPU profilers to detect GPU-side inefficiencies such as warp divergence, sub-optimal occupancy, and PCIe/NVLink bottlenecks. + Developing tools to monitor and attribute high-watermark memory usage in multi-terabyte EDA builds, finding opportunities for data structure compression or smarter memory pooling. + Developing predictive models to guide hardware procurement and cloud instance selection based on built gate-count and algorithmic complexity. ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Accelerating Python on GPUs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/859-accelerating-python-on-gpus) - [Profiling Symfony & PHP apps with Blackfire](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/265-profiling-symfony-php-apps-with-blackfire) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Accelerating Python on GPUs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1521-accelerating-python-on-gpus) - [Minimising the Carbon Footprint of Workloads](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1198-minimising-the-carbon-footprint-of-workloads) ## Related Articles - [What’s the latest in NVIDIA CUDA Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/568-what-s-the-latest-in-nvidia-cuda-python) - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
