TL;DR · Senior GPU Compiler Development Engineer

As a Senior GPU Compiler Development Engineer on the PTX Compiler Development team, you will drive PTX language design and compiler evolution to support high-performance computing, deep learning, and autonomous driving applications. You will be responsible for leading efforts to enhance PTX Compiler infrastructure to support new compilation models specifically for generative AI and deep learning codes. Your daily work involves collaborating with architecture and programming model teams to build abstractions that expose new GPU features in portable ways while managing the compiler front end, optimizer interactions, and runtime aspects like linkers and loaders. You will utilize C/C++, LLVM IR, and MLIR to develop robust code generation. The role requires expertise in compiler infrastructure, programming language design, and experience with CUDA or OpenCL to solve complex challenges in GPU computing environments.

What you'll do

  • Drive the design and evolution of the PTX language and compiler infrastructure.
  • Develop abstractions to expose new GPU features in a portable and performant way.
  • Manage the PTX Compiler Front End, including interaction with optimizers and runtime aspects.
  • Handle technical components involving object files, debug information, linkers, loaders, and Driver Compiler Interfaces.
  • Lead efforts to enhance compiler infrastructure for Deep Learning and Generative AI codes.
  • Design compilation stacks and strategies specifically tailored for AI and DL workloads.
  • Ensure high-quality code generation and compatibility across various compute programming languages.

What we're looking for

  • BS (or equivalent experience), MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6+ years of experience in compiler front end, programming language designs, Compilers, or Linkers.
  • Superb analytical and C/C++ programming skills.
  • Ability to expertly use AI tools and maintain AI-generated artifacts.
  • Experience in at least one area of compiler development including feature support, code generation, or compiler infrastructure.
  • Understanding of any Processor ISA, with GPU ISA being a plus.
  • Strong interactive, verbal, and written communication skills.
  • Proven track record of developing, driving, and delivering software products.
