## About the role

As a Member of Technical Staff, you will build and optimize the low-level execution primitives that turn accelerator performance into production inference performance. Rather than optimizing for one hardware architecture, you will work across accelerators with different execution models, memory hierarchies, capabilities, and software stacks. Your work will shape the latency, throughput, and efficiency Gimlet can achieve across established and emerging hardware architectures.

## What they're looking for

- Strong software engineering fundamentals
- Experience working on performance-critical systems close to hardware
- Comfort reasoning about low-level execution behavior, memory hierarchies, and performance tradeoffs
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience
