- Strong Python and C/C++ programming skills
- Strong experience in GPU kernel development and performance optimizations (especially using CUDA C/C++, cuTile, Triton, or similar)
Responsibilities
- Innovating and developing new AI systems technologies for efficient inference
- Designing, implementing, and optimizing kernels for high impact AI workloads
- Designing and implementing extensible abstractions for LLM serving engines
- Building efficient just-in-time domain specific compilers and runtimes
- Collaborating closely with other engineers at NVIDIA across deep learning frameworks, libraries, kernels, and GPU arch teams
- Contributing to open source communities like FlashInfer, vLLM, and SGLang
