Machine Learning Engineer - Kernels

Job description

**About Mindbeam** We are building the next-generation AI infrastructure for open source and enterprise. Our work is deeply research-oriented and passionate about developing ground-breaking innovations to take state-of-the-art AI applications to the next level. **Mission** Push the boundaries of performance by developing custom kernels and low-level optimizations for next-generation AI workloads. **Role Expectations** • Design and implement custom GPU/accelerator kernels to maximize performance. • Profile, benchmark, and optimize critical ML workloads. • Collaborate with researchers to translate algorithmic advances into efficient, production-ready code. • Stay current with hardware advancements (CUDA, ROCm, TPU) to inform kernel design. • Document and share best practices for low-level optimization. **Background** • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field—or equivalent experience. • 2+ years of experience in GPU programming, parallel computing, or systems-level optimization. • Strong coding skills in C++, CUDA, or similar languages. • Familiarity with ML frameworks and their low-level backends. • Experience optimizing workloads for distributed and heterogeneous compute environments. • Comfort with profiling tools and performance diagnostics. **About You** You are detail-oriented, performance-obsessed, and excited by the challenge of squeezing out every ounce of compute efficiency. You enjoy working at the intersection of algorithms and hardware, and you thrive in a collaborative environment where bold ideas are encouraged.
