About the Role

RadixArk is seeking a Member of Technical Staff — Kernel / Compiler / Communication to push the limits of performance for frontier AI systems.

You will work at the lowest layers of the stack — kernels, runtimes, compilers, and communication libraries — to unlock maximum efficiency from modern accelerators and interconnects.

This role is critical to scaling training and inference across thousands of GPUs, where microseconds and memory bandwidth matter. Your work will directly shape the performance envelope of next-generation AI systems.

This is a deeply technical role for engineers who enjoy working close to hardware and solving performance problems that most engineers never encounter.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in systems, compiler, or performance engineering
  • Strong expertise in CUDA or accelerator programming
  • Deep understanding of GPU architecture and memory hierarchy
  • Experience writing or optimizing high-performance kernels
  • Strong background in compilers, runtimes, or code generation
  • Experience with distributed communication libraries (NCCL, MPI, RCCL, etc.)
  • Solid knowledge of networking and interconnect technologies
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python
  • Strong debugging and profiling skills at system level

Strong Plus

  • Experience with Triton, TVM, XLA, or MLIR
  • Experience building compiler passes or IR transformations
  • Familiarity with NVLink, InfiniBand, or RDMA
  • Experience optimizing collective communication at scale
  • Background in HPC or performance-critical systems
  • Contributions to kernel/compiler/ML systems open source
  • Experience scaling workloads to 1000+ GPUs
  • Experience with mixed-precision or quantized kernels

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement high-performance kernels for AI workloads
  • Optimize compiler and runtime stacks for ML systems
  • Improve communication efficiency across large GPU clusters
  • Reduce latency and increase throughput for distributed workloads
  • Profile and eliminate system bottlenecks across the stack
  • Collaborate with training and inference teams on performance optimization
  • Develop tooling for profiling and performance analysis
  • Contribute to long-term architecture for performance-critical systems
  • Push the limits of hardware–software co-design

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
