What we need to see
Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
6+ years of relevant industry experience.
Experience building or directing agentic AI systems — code generation, automated optimization, or multi-step reasoning workflows.
Strong Python and C++ skills with proven software engineering fundamentals.
Hands-on GPU profiling with CUPTI, NSYS, and NCU; proven track record to attribute bottlenecks across kernel execution, compiler decisions, and runtime scheduling.
Direct experience with LLM inference frameworks such as TRT-LLM, SGLang, or vLLM and clear understanding of how kernel selection drives model-level throughput and latency.
Working knowledge of GPU kernel optimization — CUDA, CUTLASS, Triton, or equivalent — and the ability to read PTX or SASS output.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Deep knowledge of SASS/PTX-level kernel analysis, compiler middle-end optimization, or GPU code generation pipelines (LLVM, MLIR, ptxas, or similar).
Track record shipping agentic systems end-to-end — tool invent, multi-agent orchestration, and silicon-verified validation — within a performance engineering or kernel optimization context.
Active contributions to open-source LLM inference or GPU kernel libraries (FlashInfer, Triton, CUTLASS, or similar).
