  • PyTorch and CUDA programming
  • Triton kernel optimization
  • Distributed training frameworks (FSDP, etc.)
  • Large model scaling and inference optimization
  • Performance profiling and debugging
  • Video generation or diffusion model experience
  • Rapid prototyping and productionization

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401K with employer match
  • Catered lunch multiple days per week and dinner stipends
  • Commuter benefits and Grubhub subscription
