## About the role

We are looking for a talented engineer to build and run the performance infrastructure shared by our RISC-V Software and RISC-V Performance teams. This is the plumbing that both teams' performance work stands on — benchmarking automation, data collection, and workload capture across silicon, FPGA/emulation platforms and performance models. You'll work across both teams, enabling performance and software engineers to spend their time on analysis and optimization instead of running experiments by hand.

## What they're looking for

- Great at identifying problems and developing solutions, with a bias toward owning the systems you build
- Enjoys building tools and optimizing workflows so other engineers can move faster
- Strong Linux systems engineer, comfortable wrangling lab machines, clusters and flaky hardware platforms
- Skilled in Python and shell scripting, with solid CI (GitLab) and container experience
- Experienced automating at scale — job scheduling, artifact management, databases and dashboarding, curiosity about CPU performance is a plus, deep microarchitecture background is not required
