Are you passionate about programming languages, compiler technology, and GPU performance? Do you want to help shape the future of high-performance kernel development for AI? We are looking for outstanding engineers to build CUTLASS DSL, a Python-native language for GPU kernel development, along with the MLIR dialects and lowering passes behind it. In this role, you will also help accelerate kernel compilation while delivering performance comparable to CUTLASS C++, enabling efficient hardware-software co-design for NVIDIA's next generation of AI platforms. 

What you'll be doing: 

• Design, develop, and optimize CUTLASS DSL, a Python-native language for high-performance GPU kernel development 

• Build and advance the MLIR dialects, lowering passes, and code generation flows that power the CUTLASS DSL stack  

• Drive innovations that improve kernel compilation speed while maintaining performance on par with CUTLASS C++ 

• Collaborate closely with architecture, research, software product teams, and the open-source community to bring cutting-edge optimizations into real products 

What we need to see: 

• MS, PhD, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field 

• 2+ years of relevant work experience 

• Excellent programming skills in Python and strong proficiency in C++ 

• Hands-on experience with DSLs, compilers, or code generation systems 

• Strong command of the MLIR/LLVM stack, including IR design and pass optimization 

• Strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a highly collaborative environment 

Ways to stand out from the crowd: 

• Deep understanding of the CUDA GPU programming model, GPU microarchitecture, and performance analysis and optimization techniques 

• Familiarity with key high-performance computing abstractions such as Layout, Tile, MMA, and TMA in the CuTe ecosystem
