  • Evaluate and prototype new tools, techniques, and technologies to improve runtime performance and developer workflows
  • Design, implement, and maintain tools and automated systems that support performance analysis, debugging, and continuous monitoring
  • Apply and help improve performance engineering standards, processes, and best practices at the team level
  • Analyze software behavior, identify performance bottlenecks, and collaborate with product teams to propose and implement optimizations
  • Mentor junior engineers on performance profiling, optimization strategies, and engineering best practices

Requirements:

  • Minimum 3+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Hands-on programming experience with C++ and Python
  • Strong understanding of computer architecture and system-level software fundamentals
  • Proven experience with performance profiling, analysis, tuning, and optimization
  • Experience developing or optimizing high-performance software, ideally for heterogeneous compute environments (e.g., GPUs, DSPs, or accelerators)

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical decisions within a team or product area
  • Ability to lead projects through ambiguity and deliver results end to end
  • BS, MS in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)

Nice to have:

  • Knowledge of GPU performance, OS/driver internals, or systems-level software stacks
  • Experience with AI/ML applications or inference software
  • Background with real-time operating systems
  • Experience developing or optimizing software for safety critical systems
