AI Engineer, Recursive Self-Improvement for Compute joins the team to build recursive self-improvement systems for compute at the intersection of AI systems, performance engineering, and hardware-aware optimization. The role involves developing agentic and learning-driven optimization loops where AI proposes, verifies, and iterates on improvements for compute workloads and hardware engineering workflows. You will build systems that automate candidate generation, compilation, testing, and benchmarking while designing feedback systems to collect data from profiler traces and validation logs. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python and systems languages like C++, C, HIP, or CUDA, alongside experience with PyTorch, JAX, Triton, and ROCm. The work focuses on solving complex engineering problems where correctness is non-negotiable, specifically targeting GPU/CPU performance, compiler optimization, reinforcement learning for engineering tasks, and automated program repair to improve the next generation of compute platforms.
