• Have low-level software optimization experience
• Have strong desire and ability to solve problems quickly
• Be able to schedule, and work on tasks independently
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Be flexible and accept new challenges

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Planning, designing, and refactoring existing codebases to improve maintainability and extensibility across multiple target hardware configurations
• Developing new software designs to integrate a variety of code optimization patterns in a clear modular fashion in code generators
• Identify and help resolve functional and performance issues by working closely with libraries development teams and other internal engineering teams
• Participate in enhancing code integration process to verify conformance of new code submissions to the improved practices and designs
• Apply a data minded approach to target optimization efforts
• Stay informed of software and hardware trends and innovations, especially pertaining to algorithms and architecture

• Proven experience in code optimizations for any architectures such as CPU/GPU/FPGA
• GPU software development or validation involving HIP, CUDA, or OpenCL
• Experience in SIMD vectorization is a plus
• Experience in system-level performance evaluations and debugging
• Ability to closely interact with architects, developers, and tuning teams to maintain and release production software
• Great communication and teamwork skills

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
