Delivering a great user experience: Ensure a seamless, high-performance path to production for the latest model families (LLMs, Diffusion, Audio, Vision and multi-modal models).
Extreme performance optimization: Work at the intersection of Python orchestration and C++ engine-level optimizations to achieve major latency and throughput gains for critical customer use cases.
What we need to see
BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI, or equivalent experience.
4+ years of relevant software development experience.
Strong modern C++ skills: Proficiency with C++11/14/17 (or newer) and the STL, with an emphasis on clean, maintainable, performant code.
Deep learning familiarity: Experience with modern inference frameworks and an understanding of the architectural nuances of LLMs, Diffusion, and multi-modal models.
Systems thinking: Interest in how software architecture must evolve to support automated, agent-driven development and indefinitely scaling codebases.
End-to-end product sense: Ability to translate high-level customer needs into concrete technical requirements and user-centric solutions.
Pragmatic execution: Demonstrated ability to go from customer requests to production-quality software on tight timelines.
Collaborative mindset: Excellent communication skills and comfort working across internal organizations and with customers.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Agentic framework experience: Hands-on work with AI agent orchestrators or multi-agent coding frameworks, or experience building custom agentic coding harnesses for production software.
CUDA & kernel expertise: Experience with CUDA programming or exposure to kernel generation / autotuning efforts.
High-velocity prototyping: A track record of rapidly turning state-of-the-art papers into working prototypes in days, not weeks.
Performance profiling skills: Expertise in software performance analysis, profiling, and optimization (CPU and/or GPU), including using tooling to drive measurable wins.
