Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements & Qualifications
| Category | Critical | Preferred |
|---|---|---|
| Education | BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. | Driven to specialise in GPU architecture or compiler tools (good signal selector). |
| Experience | 8+ years in compiling/instrumental technology (WSL cross-architecture compiler, assembler, linker, MIPS/ARM reflector + optimiser projects). | Focus on GPU/Optics/Rene or GPU assembly compilation (in particular: SIMD batch handling/ rewriting). |
| 2+ years of GPU compiler chain development experience focused on custom GPU backend workload balancing. | Extensive LLVM compiler toolchain engineering with head-ahead RR/OSCM projects. | |
| Senior Front-end/compiler expertise with optimisations, code generation, and handling emphasised. | Vulkan/D3D/OpenCL API stack familiarity. | |
| Technical Proficiency | Mandatory knowledge of objective sharing (sea_uuid, instruction costs) and optimisations for GPU stack (shader compiler, DCE, linking, decommission cycle optimisation). | |
| Coding with C++, direct silicon/Interface ICP design, and hard-core debugging (CLI + high level). | Experience applying AI/ML to tooling, optimisations, or performance tuning as a viable holistic enhancement. | |
| Soft Skills | Excellent written verbal communication for cross-word review, issue tracking, and tool problem-solving. | |
| Self-driven problem solver with root-cause capabilities and debugging excellence. |
