You will work with a team that is using open source libraries like RAPIDS to accelerate reading, writing and batch data operations in Spark.
What you'll be doing:
Develop CUDA/C++ libraries to accelerate DataFrames and I/O operations on common file formats such as Parquet, ORC and JSON
Collaborate with distributed systems teams to craft solutions to distributed processing problems challenges at large scale
Work with open source communities to enhance libraries like RAPIDS, CCCL and UCX through technical discussion and code contributions
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)
