Architect and implement multi-threaded, high-performance user-space systems.

Drive integration across frameworks, runtime, drivers, and hardware acceleration layers.

Optimize system performance including latency, throughput, and memory utilization.

Cross-Functional & Platform Leadership

Collaborate with hardware, firmware, compiler, and framework teams to ensure cohesive system design.

Influence product and platform direction through architecture decisions and performance insights.

Act as a technical point of contact for complex system issues and customer escalations.

Mentorship & Engineering Excellence

Mentor engineers across levels; elevate team capabilities through design reviews and technical coaching.

Drive innovation in architecture and system design, evangelizing new approaches across the organization.

Required Skills and Experience

1 2 + years of experience in software engineering with strong emphasis on system architecture and design.

Deep expertise in Linux user-space development and API design.

Strong proficiency in C/C++ (1 2 + years) and Python.

Experience designing multi-threaded and high-performance systems.

Solid understanding of SoC architecture (CPU, memory hierarchy, interconnects, IO subsystems).

Experience with source control and configuration management systems.

Proven ability to lead architecture across teams and influence technical direction.

Strong communication skills and ability to drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred / Desirable Skills

Familiarity with CUDA, NCCL, or equivalent accelerator programming models.

Experience with IREE or ML compiler/runtime stacks.

Understanding of PyTorch 2.0 (PT2) architecture and execution model.

Knowledge of high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and RoCE .

Experience with large-scale or heterogeneous compute systems.
