Ai Coding Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for their AISW engineering team, focusing on CI, build, and release infrastructure for the Delegates portfolio. The role involves designing multi-platform CI pipelines, maintaining build recipes, and ensuring high-quality software delivery across various operating systems.
Responsibilities:
• Design, own, and evolve multi-platform CI pipelines for ORT QNN-EP, ExecuTorch, and LiteRT delegates across Linux, Windows (ARM64/x86), and Android.
• Maintain hermetic, reproducible build recipes and toolchains; manage cross-platform dependencies and toolchain versioning across all Delegates targets.
• Integrate HIL and on-device automated testing into CI workflows for Snapdragon SoC validation at scale.
• Drive the agentic transformation by embedding AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex) into CI and developer workflows to improve team velocity.
• Own the end-to-end release pipeline: versioning strategy, artifact packaging (Python wheels, shared libraries, Android AARs), signed binary distribution, and release gate criteria.
• Define and enforce automated quality gates — regression benchmarks, performance thresholds, op-coverage checks — aligned with ORT, ExecuTorch, and LiteRT upstream cadences.
• Coordinate SDK artifact delivery with the QAIRT SDK release train and downstream ISV partners.
• Partner with delegate engineers to build automated functional, performance, and regression test suites covering op coverage, numerical accuracy, and latency.
• Develop dashboards and alerting for build health, test pass rates, and performance trends; integrate with JIRA for automated defect tracking and release readiness reporting.
• Streamline inner-loop workflows: local build scripts, container images, pre-commit hooks, and environment bootstrapping that mirror CI behavior.
• Maintain CI runbooks and documentation for a globally distributed team; align all CI/build infrastructure with Qualcomm Corporate tooling standards.
• Coordinate with upstream open-source communities (ORT, ExecuTorch, LiteRT) to track breaking changes and contribute automation improvements back upstream.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 8+ years of software/DevOps/release engineering experience — OR — Master's degree and 6+ years.
• Expert-level Python and Bash scripting.
• Hands-on experience integrating an AI coding agent (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Codex) into a CI or development workflow.
• Deep experience with CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, TeamCity, or similar) and Git-based SCM workflows.
• Proven end-to-end ownership of build, release, and deployment pipelines in a multi-platform environment.
• Exposure to JIRA or equivalent for defect tracking and sprint-based triage.
• Effective communication skills (verbal, written, presentation).
Preferred:
• Experience with ML framework build systems — ONNX Runtime, ExecuTorch, or TFLite / LiteRT.
• C/C++ build and debugging proficiency (CMake, Bazel, or equivalent).
• Experience with Android NDK, cross-compilation and packaging / release logistics (Maven, Gradle, …)
• Experience with Windows CI/CD pipelines and Windows ARM64 build toolchains.
• Experience with Agile development environments.
• Working knowledge of DL inference pipelines and on-device performance profiling.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across a globally distributed, multi-timezone engineering organization.
Company:
Qualcomm designs wireless technologies and semiconductors that power connectivity, communication, and smart devices. Founded in 1985, the company is headquartered in San Diego, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
