About The Role As a Founding GPU & Compiler Software Engineer at Symbolica, you will specialize in the design, development, and optimization of GPU kernels and algorithms to support the training and inference of symbolic reasoning models. You will leverage frameworks like CUDA and CUTLASS, along with compiler optimization techniques, to push the boundaries of performance for high-dimensional computation. Your Focus Developing and optimizing GPU kernels for high-performance symbolic reasoning and numerical algorithms using CUDA. Designing and implementing domain-specific compiler optimizations for GPU acceleration, ensuring efficient transformation and execution of symbolic computation workloads. Collaborating with mathematicians and researchers to design highly efficient implementations of complex algorithms. Analyzing and optimizing GPU performance, focusing on memory management, thread utilization, compiler-generated optimizations, and computation throughput. Building and maintaining scalable, reusable GPU-accelerated libraries tailored for symbolic reasoning workloads. Profiling and benchmarking kernel performance, identifying compiler inefficiencies, and implementing solutions for maximum efficiency. About You Strong proficiency in at least one high-performance programming language (C, C++, Rust, Haskell, or Julia) and familiarity with Python. Proficiency in GPU programming with CUDA, including experience with kernel development, compiler optimizations, and performance tuning. Experience with CUTLASS and familiarity with tensor operations and matrix multiplications is a plus. In-depth knowledge of GPU architecture, including memory hierarchies, thread blocks, warps, and scheduling. Experience with compiler development, LLVM, or domain-specific language (DSL) optimizations. Proven optimizing numerical algorithms for high-performance computing environments. Familiarity with LSP (Language Server Protocol) and a background in linear algebra, symbolic computation, or related mathematical fields are strong pluses. We offer competitive compensation, including an attractive equity package, with salary and equity levels aligned to your experience and expertise. This is an onsite role based in our London office (66 City Rd). Symbolica is an equal opportunities employer.
