## About the role

Quadric's GPNPU runs both neural networks and C++ code on a single programmable architecture. As a member of our AI Application team, you will make the GPNPU a first-class backend in the frameworks developers already use, such as llama.cpp, PyTorch, and vLLM. That way, customers can move their applications from GPUs to Quadric with minimal changes. You'll own backend integration from memory and dispatch through serving features, working closely with our kernel, runtime and compiler teams. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years building or extending ML frameworks or inference runtimes
- BS/MS in CS/CE or related fields
- Strong C/C++ and Python
- Solid understanding of framework internals: tensor memory management, graph scheduling, operator dispatch
- Solid understanding of AI compute performance analysis and optimization
- Fluent with AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor), and interested in building agent-driven workflows for backend and model bring-up
