Your Opportunity

As an architect, you will get the opportunity to grow in the field of high-performance computing, GPU compute infra, complex system design and low-level optimizations for better cost of ownership.

Roles and Responsibility

• As a Software Architect, you will be responsible for design and implementation of robust, scalable infrastructure solutions combining diverse processors (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs).
• You will analyze and partition workloads to the most appropriate compute unit, ensuring tasks like AI inference and parallel processing runs on specialized accelerators, while serial tasks run on CPUs.
• You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including Algo engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders, to understand requirements and translate them into architectural/software designs that meet business needs.
• You will be coding and developing quick prototypes to establish your design with real code and data.
• You will be a subject Matter expert to unblock software engineers in the HPC domain.
• You will be expected to profile entire cluster of nodes and each node with profilers to understand bottlenecks, optimize workflows and code and processes to improve cost of ownership.
• Conduct performance tuning and capacity planning, monitoring GPU metrics (e.g., using NVIDIA DCGM) for reliability
• Evaluate and recommend appropriate technologies and frameworks to meet project requirements.
• Lead the design and implementation of complex software components and systems.
• Ensure that software systems are scalable, reliable, and maintainable.
• Your primary focus will be on ensuring that the software systems are scalable, reliable, maintainable and cost effective.

Our Ideal Candidate

Someone who is passionate about and has deep understanding and experience in design and development of cutting edge HPC systems and heterogenous computing infrastructure. He should have very good hands-on experience in parallel programming (CUDA) and AI inference infrastructure. He should be able to multi-task and switch contexts based on business needs.

Qualifications

• 12 to 18 years of experience in implementing robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure solutions combining diverse processors (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs)
