Member of Technical Staff

Member of Technical Staff focuses on understand how kernel-level gains translate to wall-clock improvements in production.

What the role involves

• Understand how kernel-level gains translate to wall-clock improvements in production.
• Build the infrastructure that lets LLM agents iterate unsupervised for days - compilation, correctness, benchmarking, scoring, lineage tracking.
• Design the evolutionary search - fitness landscapes, variation operators, population management, selection pressure, stagnation detection, exploration vs. exploitation over multi-d.
• Communicate and share ideas through high-quality documentation, technical meet-ups and blogs.
• For lead candidates: Hire and mentor a small team of exceptional engineers and researchers.

Skills and requirements

• You've written and shipped high-performance or SOTA CUDA kernels.
• Deep understanding of mixed precision, quantisation (INT4, INT8, FP8, MXFP4, block-scaled formats), kernel fusion, distributed computing strategies (TP, PP, CP).
• You've made deliberate choices about tiling, memory access patterns, warp-level primitives, and instruction scheduling.
• You've traced performance cliffs to their root cause through profiler output.
