  • Experience and proficiency in one or more programming languages, but not limited to: Python and C++.

 

AI Performance and Debugging Tools:

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist in developing and maintaining developer-facing tools for debugging, performance monitoring, and system introspection.

  • Contribute to low-level platform tools such as:

    • Introspection & Debugging: Helping to create tools for inspecting hardware and controlling graph execution.

    • Performance Monitoring & Profiling: Assisting with high-speed data logging and execution trace analysis.

  • Collaborate with hardware and compiler teams to improve system performance and tooling integration.

  • Learn and apply low-level system programming concepts, focusing on hardware interaction.

  • Support various phases of software development, including testing and documentation.

  • Engage with engineers and developers, incorporating feedback into tool enhancements.

 

Experience & Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in C++ or experience with system-level programming.

  • Familiarity with Linux-based environments, including shell scripting and debugging tools.

  • Basic understanding of computer hardware architecture and system-level programming.

  • Interest in performance profiling, debugging, and AI-related workloads.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

  • Exposure to performance profiling tools, system introspection, or low-level debugging.

  • Familiarity with hardware debugging tools (GDB, JTAG) or AI hardware accelerators.

  • Understanding of multicore processors and low-level system interactions.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
