  • Proven experience in developing large software projects.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience in PyTorch, JAX, or any other DL framework.

  • Experience with performance analysis, profiling, and code optimization techniques, especially with multi-GPU or multi-node systems.

  • Knowledge of modern LLM architectures, attention mechanisms, and/or low-level DL libraries such as cuBLAS, cuDNN, and cuSOLVER.

  • Experience in writing GPU kernels using any of - CUDA, OpenAI Triton, CuTeDSL, Pallas, or other similar libraries.

  • Any past contributions to the open source community and/or experience working with multidisciplinary teams also showcase readiness for the team's responsibilities. 

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.
