  • Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs

  • Background with working with large codebases

  • Deep understanding of technology and passionate about what you do

  • Good written communication as well as strong collaborative skills and ability to effectively guide and influence across groups

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO

  • Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models

  • Background with kernel mode development

  • Experience with Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development

  • Some familiarity with C++, CUDA experience

The base salary range is 148,000 USD - 287,500 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
