C++ Systems Software Engineer (GPU Virtualization Startup)

A well-funded infrastructure startup is hiring systems engineers to contribute to the heart of its GPU virtualization software. The job suits someone who enjoys squeezing microseconds out of intricate C++ code and wants to build low-level software that supports an expanding customer base.

Scope

• Build and evolve the central C++ library that handles the virtualization
• Research areas such as oversubscription and checkpointing, plus fast GPU systems generally
• Add support for new hardware architectures, drawing on knowledge across the whole system
• Debug systems problems directly in production
• Investigate slowdowns in customer workloads

Qualifications

• Three or more years of C++ systems engineering, with elite C++ skill (strong Rust is also acceptable)
• Production experience with low-level systems such as operating systems, kernels, memory or drivers
• Experience optimizing network interface and C++ performance, and the ability to trace issues across the stack
• Kubernetes, infrastructure or distributed-systems background is helpful, as are compilers or networking protocols
• Fast, high-output habits in an early-stage startup
• A strong computer science degree and production experience rather than a purely academic path

On-site in the San Francisco Bay Area. Visa transfers considered.
