Job Summary

We are seeking a GPU Applications Engineer with deep expertise in CUDA programming, GPU architecture, and high-performance computing to design and optimize compute-intensive workloads on modern accelerator hardware. This role focuses on extracting maximum performance from GPU platforms for AI training, inference, scientific computing, and high-throughput data processing workloads. The ideal candidate combines low-level systems mastery with strong software engineering practices, and has a track record of delivering measurable performance improvements on production GPU systems. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-performance CUDA kernels for compute-intensive workloads across AI and HPC use cases.
