Overview

Are you ready to innovate GPU performance analysis for Machine Learning workloads?! Join our Developer Tools Always-On Profiling (AON) team as a Senior Software Architect, where you'll be pivotal in designing, implementing, and leading our Always-On Profiling service. This role demands deep technical expertise, a proven track record to solve ambiguous challenges, and strong technical leadership skills.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and Build Scalable Systems : Drive the design and implementation of the AON profiling service's core systems. Master inter-process communication (IPC), memory management, and low-overhead architectures to handle profiling data from complex multi-node, multi-process, multi-GPU, and cluster environments.
  • Elevate Software Engineering Excellence : Promote high standards in software development, including design patterns, concurrency, parallelism, and advanced debugging for asynchronous systems. Commit to code quality and robust testing to ensure a reliable profiling service.
  • Lead, Mentor, and Innovate : Guide and mentor engineers, provide impactful code reviews, and shape technical roadmaps. Proactively identify complex technical issues within the AON project, break them down, and craft innovative solutions. Problem-solving prowess is crucial for AON's success with ML workloads.
  • Architect and Build High-Performance Platforms : Transform user needs into clear requirements and design documents. Explore diverse approaches to problems, make well-reasoned recommendations, and lead end-to-end feature development—from planning and prototyping to implementation, testing, and customer evaluation. Hands-on development across user applications, drivers, performance counter libraries, and lower-level platform / hardware abstraction layers.
  • Collaborate Across Boundaries : Partner effectively with diverse internal and external teams. Exceptional communication and collaboration skills are key to integrating AON seamlessly into the broader profiling and ML ecosystem.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree.
  • 6+ years of meaningful software development experience in C, C++, and Python.
  • 6+ years in system software design, operating systems fundamentals, computer architectures, performance analysis, and delivering production-quality software.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication, demonstrating the ability to build cross-organizational partnerships and lead technical teams through complex challenges.
  • Profiling & Performance Tools Expert : Extensive knowledge of profiling technologies (sampling, tracing), overhead analysis, and diverse profiling data (CPU / GPU events, performance counters, API traces, event correlation). Familiarity with existing profiling ecosystems and their limitations is a plus.
  • GPU & CUDA Proficiency : In-depth knowledge of CUDA APIs, runtime, streams, kernels, and GPU architecture.
  • ML Ecosystem & Performance Analysis : Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX, and knowledge of performance analysis for AI training / inference applications.
  • Large-Scale System Development & Debugging : Experience developing and debugging across complex multi-layered software systems, including user mode and kernel drivers, with a proven ability to contribute to and extend substantial codebases (100s of millions of lines).
  • Proficiency in Designing APIs and Interfaces for Profiling Tools : Designs robust, flexible APIs and interfaces enabling seamless integration of profiling tools with various frameworks and custom code.
  • Mastery of Problem Simplification : A history of breaking down ill-defined problems in complex technical domains, designing effective solutions, and leading teams to implement them.
  • Ways to Stand Out

  • Pioneering Low-Overhead Profiling Systems : A track record of designing and implementing profiling systems with minimal performance impact on target workloads, especially in complex multi-process and distributed environments.
  • Deep Understanding of PyTorch Internals & CUDA Usage : A comprehensive grasp of how PyTorch uses CUDA, including tensor memory, operations, and distributed training functionalities.
  • GPU Performance Analysis & Optimization Acuity : The ability to analyze profiling data and translate it into concrete, actionable insights, particularly within CUDA and ML Frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Translating Customer Needs : Skilled at redefining customer requests into actionable use cases and requirements.
  • Strong understanding of system security principles.
  • Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 148,000 USD - 235,750 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.

    You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

    Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 10, 2025.
