Requirements

  • BS or MS degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 6+ years of meaningful software development experience in C, C++, and Python
  • 6+ years in system software design, operating systems fundamentals, computer architectures, performance analysis, and delivering production-quality software
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with ability to build cross-organizational partnerships and lead technical teams through complex challenges
  • Extensive knowledge of profiling technologies (sampling, tracing), overhead analysis, and diverse profiling data (CPU/GPU events, performance counters, API traces, event correlation); familiarity with existing profiling ecosystems and their limitations is a plus
  • In-depth knowledge of CUDA APIs, runtime, streams, kernels, and GPU architecture
  • Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX, and knowledge of performance analysis for AI training/inference applications
  • Experience developing and debugging across complex multi-layered software systems, including user mode and kernel drivers, with proven ability to contribute to and extend substantial codebases (100s of millions of lines)
  • Proficiency in designing robust, flexible APIs and interfaces for profiling tools enabling seamless integration with various frameworks and custom code
  • Mastery of problem simplification: history of breaking down ill-defined problems in complex technical domains, designing effective solutions, and leading teams to implement them

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build scalable systems: drive design and implementation of AON profiling service's core systems, mastering IPC, memory management, and low-overhead architectures for multi-node, multi-process, multi-GPU, and cluster environments
  • Elevate software engineering excellence: promote high standards in software development, including design patterns, concurrency, parallelism, and advanced debugging for asynchronous systems, with commitment to code quality and robust testing
  • Lead, mentor, and innovate: guide and mentor engineers, provide impactful code reviews, shape technical roadmaps, proactively identify complex technical issues, break them down, and craft innovative solutions for ML workloads
  • Architect and build high-performance platforms: transform user needs into clear requirements and design documents, explore diverse approaches, make well-reasoned recommendations, and lead end-to-end feature development (planning, prototyping, implementation, testing, customer evaluation) across user applications, drivers, performance counter libraries, and lower-level platform/hardware abstraction layers
  • Collaborate across boundaries: partner effectively with diverse internal and external teams, leveraging exceptional communication and collaboration skills to integrate AON into the broader profiling and ML ecosystem
