Job Description

This is a remote position.

A high-impact team based in Europe is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong expertise in GPU compute and low-level debugging tools. The role focuses on enhancing and maintaining an open-source, GDB-based debugger for heterogeneous computing systems involving CPUs and GPUs. You will work on improving developer tooling, implementing advanced debugging features, and collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to influence future hardware and software capabilities.

This position requires deep involvement in Linux tools and driver development, as well as hands-on experience contributing to or modifying open-source debugging frameworks. Responsibilities include designing algorithms to improve debugging, maintaining toolchains, and guiding the technical direction of debugging support across compute domains. This is a senior-level role suited for candidates with 8+ years of experience in systems software development.

Required Skills & Experience

• Deep experience in GPU compute technologies (e.g., HIP, CUDA, OpenCL, OpenMP)

• Hands-on experience modifying or developing GDB or similar low-level tools

• Strong programming skills in C, C++, and assembly

• Solid understanding of Linux systems development, including tools and driver libraries

• Familiarity with CPU and GPU architecture, particularly SIMD/SIMT paradigms

• Open-source contributions or maintainership (e.g., GDB, Binutils, LLVM, GCC)

• Experience in hardware/software debugging using tools like GDB

• Bash scripting and Linux command-line proficiency

• Experience with Python or TCL is a plus

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Requirements
Linux drivers, GNU debugger, C/C++
