You: 

Are a performance‑focused GPU engineer to work at the intersection of low‑level GPU architecture, parallel algorithms, and real‑world workloads. In this role, you'll dive deep into compute and shader performance, partnering closely with senior engineers to analyze, optimize, and scale GPU workloads across modern architectures. This is a hands‑on, technically rigorous role where curiosity, precision, and impact matter.  

 

What You'll Be Part Of

• GPU performance optimization across HLSL compute shaders and/or CUDA / HIP kernels
• Deep analysis of modern GPU architectures, including warp/wavefront execution, occupancy, memory hierarchy, caches, and LDS/shared memory
• Design and evaluation of parallel algorithms, with careful attention to numerical stability and precision trade‑offs
• End‑to‑end performance analysis, including profiling, benchmarking, and root‑cause investigation using GPU performance tools
• Clear communication of performance findings and collaborative problem‑solving with graphics and compute teams

Requirements:

• Strong experience with HLSL and Direct3D 12
• Hands‑on experience with HIP and ROCm
• Expertise in GPU profiling and performance analysis
• Solid understanding of parallel algorithms and patterns
• Strong foundation in performance engineering fundamentals
• Advanced C++ (C++17/20) skills
• Experience with debugging, validation, and correctness testing
• Background in numerical computing and floating‑point behavior

Nice to Have (Not Essential):

• Experience with additional GPU APIs
• Knowledge of shader compilation pipelines and intermediate representations (IRs)
• Exposure to ML or linear algebra acceleration
• Advanced GPU performance techniques
• Experience building tooling and automation
• Understanding of the graphics pipeline
• Experience across multiple platforms and architectures

Academics: 

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
