  • Highly motivated with strong interpersonal skills

  • Database query optimization is a strong plus


Responsibilities

  • Develop Java, Scala and CUDA/C++ libraries to accelerate DataFrames and I/O operations on common file formats such as Parquet, ORC and JSON

  • Enable interoperability with table formats such as Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake, and metastores such as Unity Catalog

  • Work with open source communities to enhance libraries like NVIDIA cuDF, CCCL and UCX through technical discussion and code contributions

  • Collaborate with distributed systems teams to craft solutions to distributed processing problems challenges at large scale

  • Provide recommendations and feedback to teams regarding decisions surrounding topics such as infrastructure, continuous integration and testing strategy

  • Build, test and optimize CUDA/C++ libraries across different platforms


Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 272,000 USD – 431,250 USD.
