As a Senior Software Engineer – Accelerated Quantum Chemistry and cuEST, you will join a high-performance math libraries engineering team dedicated to developing cuEST, a CUDA-X math library for accelerating electronic structure computations. You will own the engineering mission from idea to shipment, architecting, implementing, and optimizing production-grade GPU solutions for quantum chemistry library primitives. Your daily work involves technical leadership of code modules, developing new algorithms to improve practical quantum chemistry flexibility, and collaborating with product organizations to drive adoption. You must possess expert knowledge of GPU software development, C++, and CUDA, alongside experience in high-performance numerical methods and production-grade quantum chemistry packages. This role addresses the technical challenge of providing accelerated APIs for Gaussian-basis quantum chemistry to support applications like drug discovery and semiconductor process development.
