Leading the design and implementation of accelerated Apache Spark and related big-data frameworks
Creating a collection of accelerated libraries for data analytics and machine learning
Working with a team of outstanding engineers including PMC and Committers of Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, and Apache Arrow
Engaging open source communities (including Apache Spark, RAPIDS and UCX) for technical discussion and contribution
Working with NVIDIA strategic partners on deploying advanced machine learning and data analytics solutions in public cloud or on-premise clusters
Presenting technical solutions in industry conferences and meetups
Provide recommendations and feedback to teams regarding decisions surrounding topics such as infrastructure, continuous integration and testing strategy
Build, test and optimize CUDA/C++ libraries across different platforms
What we need to see:
BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related field or equivalent experience
15+ years of work experience in software development
