GPU Performance Engineer

You’ll be our performance optimization expert, using advanced profiling tools to identify bottlenecks and implementing solutions that achieve 5-10x speedups. From writing custom CUDA kernels to eliminating cold start latency, you’ll ensure our infrastructure delivers world-class performance. This role is perfect for someone who gets excited about microsecond optimizations and pushing hardware to its theoretical limits., * Profile and optimize GPU workloads using Nsight Systems, nvprof, and custom instrumentation

• Write high-performance CUDA and Triton kernels for critical model operations
• Optimize cold start latency from seconds to milliseconds for our serving infrastructure
• Tune memory access patterns, kernel fusion, and GPU utilization
• Collaborate with ML engineers to optimize model implementations
• Debug performance issues across the full stack from application to hardware
• Implement custom memory pooling and allocation strategies
• Share optimization techniques and build performance culture across teams

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years systems programming experience with 3+ years focused on GPU optimization
• Expert proficiency with GPU profiling tools (Nsight Systems, nvprof)
• Strong CUDA programming skills with production kernel development
• Deep understanding of GPU architecture (memory hierarchy, SMs, warps)
• Track record of achieving significant performance improvements (5-10x)
• Experience with Python and C++ in production environments

We Value

• Experience with Triton kernel development
