• Architect Agentic Systems:
  Lead the design and implementation of sophisticated coding agents and agentic platforms capable of multi-step reasoning, self-correction, and autonomous code generation.
• Scale Distributed Systems:
  Build and maintain high-performance, large-scale production systems that handle the compute-intensive nature of agentic workflows and AI evaluation.
• Develop Evaluation Frameworks:
  Create and implement rigorous AI evaluation methodologies to measure the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of generated code and agentic logic.
• Optimize for Performance:
  Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure agent-generated code and the underlying platforms are optimized for the latest NVIDIA GPU architectures.
• Establish Engineering Standards:
  Drive best practices for code quality, testing, and deployment within the agentic AI ecosystem to ensure reliable, production‑grade output.

• A MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of experience building and maintaining large-scale production systems.
• Proven experience in building coding agents or developing comprehensive agent platforms.
• Direct experience developing skills and workflows using state‑of‑the‑art coding agents and IDEs (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex).
• Proficient in Python and at least one systems programming language (C++ or Rust).
• Strong background in AI evaluation and the ability to design benchmarks for complex, non‑deterministic agentic behaviors.
• Experience with distributed systems and orchestration to manage high‑throughput AI workloads.

• Low‑Level Mastery:
  Experience writing CUDA kernels and deep‑dive profiling using Nsight Compute and Nsight Systems.
• Framework Optimization:
  Hands‑on experience optimizing and deploying with TRT‑LLM, SGLang, vLLM, or Transformer Engine.
• Agentic Innovation:
  Demonstrated leadership in building and scaling agentic AI applications in production environments.
