Description

  • Analyze and optimize GPU kernels for performance, efficiency, and hardware utilization.
  • Use profiler metrics such as L2 cache hit rate, L2 throughput, occupancy, and related signals to guide kernel improvements.
  • Review GPU kernel implementations and identify bottlenecks without requiring extensive background in the underlying algorithms.
  • Write, modify, and reason about C++17, Python, and GPU programming code.
  • Apply CUDA, HIP, shader programming, or related kernel programming expertise to improve performance outcomes.
  • Document optimization decisions clearly, including when specific profiler metrics are or are not useful.

Requirements

  • Available to work at least 20 hrs/wk.
  • Fluent in core C++ features through C++17.
  • Working knowledge of Python and Git.
  • Fluent in at least one GPU programming model such as CUDA, HIP, Slang, HLSL, GLSL, or related kernel programming.
  • At least 1 year of professional or graduate-level research experience working with GPUs.
  • Strong understanding of GPU profiler performance metrics and how to use them to optimize kernels.
  • Ability to optimize GPU kernels without needing deep prior context on every algorithm.
  • Experience with CUDA, HIP, CUDA C++ Core Libraries, inline PTX assembly, or tensor core-level optimization is a plus.
  • Experience optimizing kernels for NVIDIA Blackwell hardware is a plus.
  • Familiarity with NSight Compute is a plus.
  • Prior experience with GPU hardware organizations such as NVIDIA, AMD, or Qualcomm is a plus.
  • Open-source contributions related to GPU kernel optimization are a plus.

Benefits

  • Compensation of $80-$100 per hour.
  • Fully remote work that can be completed on your own schedule.
  • Independent contractor engagement.
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
  • Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
