Key Responsibilities

  • Profile and tune GPU applications for performance, memory efficiency, and scalability.
  • Work with CPU–GPU parallel programming models and optimize data transfer.
  • Leverage NVIDIA libraries (CUDA, cuBLAS, cuDNN, NCCL as applicable).
  • Collaborate with system, compute, or AI/ML teams to integrate GPU-accelerated components.
  • Debug GPU kernels and address performance bottlenecks using NVIDIA profiling tools.
  • Ensure portability and performance across different NVIDIA GPU architectures.

Required Skills

  • Strong experience in CUDA programming and parallel computing concepts.
  • In-depth understanding of NVIDIA GPU architecture (threads, warps, SMs, memory hierarchy).
  • Proficiency in C/C++ for high-performance computing.
  • Experience with CUDA profiling and debugging tools (Nsight, nvprof).
  • Solid understanding of multi-threading, memory optimization, and performance tuning.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with AI/ML, HPC, or graphics workloads on GPUs.
  • Familiarity with multi-GPU programming and communication frameworks (NCCL, MPI).
  • Exposure to Python bindings (CUDA Python, PyTorch extensions).
  • Experience with Linux-based development environments.
