    Job Description

    We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced CUDA Engineering Experts with strong expertise in CUDA, C++, GPU kernel optimisation, GLSL, WebGPU, profiling, and high-performance computing to contribute to an advanced GPU-engineering and AI training project.

    Selected professionals will analyse and optimise GPU kernels, improve CUDA and C++ codebases, work with shader and WebGPU workflows, and document performance improvements across modern GPU architectures. The work requires strong low-level performance engineering, rigorous profiling, and the ability to translate technical findings into clear, actionable recommendations. No prior experience in AI is required.

    Key Responsibilities

    CUDA Kernel Analysis & Optimisation

    • Analyse and optimise GPU kernels using CUDA
    • Identify performance bottlenecks affecting computational throughput
    • Improve kernel efficiency across modern GPU hardware
    • Apply targeted optimisation techniques based on profiling results
    • Validate performance gains using quantitative benchmarks

    GPU Profiling & Performance Engineering

    • Profile GPU workloads using tools such as Nsight, Visual Profiler, or comparable platforms
    • Diagnose memory, compute, occupancy, and execution bottlenecks
    • Evaluate kernel performance across different hardware generations
    • Develop data-driven optimisation strategies
    • Document measurable changes in latency, throughput, and resource utilisation

    C++ & CUDA Codebase Refactoring

    • Refactor CUDA and C++ code for improved maintainability and efficiency
    • Improve architecture and organisation within performance-critical codebases
    • Reduce unnecessary complexity while preserving functionality
    • Adapt implementations for portability across GPU architectures
    • Apply high-performance computing best practices throughout development

    GLSL & WebGPU Development

    • Implement shader logic using GLSL
    • Develop graphics and compute workflows using WebGPU
    • Integrate shader-based processing into existing systems
    • Evaluate performance trade-offs across GPU execution environments
    • Maintain compatibility and consistency across pipeline components

    Technical Evaluation & Design

    • Contribute expertise to GPU architecture and performance-design discussions
    • Evaluate new GPU-based implementation approaches
    • Assess technical trade-offs across performance, maintainability, and scalability
    • Support definition of meaningful performance metrics
    • Recommend practical approaches based on profiling and benchmarking evidence

    Technical Documentation & Collaboration

    • Document optimisation strategies, benchmark results, and technical findings
    • Produce clear reports describing performance improvements
    • Communicate complex GPU behaviour to technical stakeholders
    • Collaborate with remote and cross-disciplinary project teams
    • Share relevant developments in GPU programming and performance engineering

    Ideal Profile

    • Demonstrated expertise in CUDA programming
    • Strong track record of GPU kernel performance optimisation
    • Advanced C++ development experience
    • Experience working in high-performance computing environments
    • Hands-on experience with GLSL and WebGPU
    • Strong understanding of graphics or compute shader development
    • Proficiency with GPU profiling tools such as Nsight, Visual Profiler, or equivalent
    • Ability to reason about memory behaviour, kernel execution, and hardware utilisation
    • Strong analytical skills for evaluating performance across GPU architectures
    • Experience refactoring performance-critical codebases
    • Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills
    • Comfortable collaborating in remote, cross-disciplinary environments
    • No prior AI-training experience is required

    Engagement Details

    • Independent contractor engagement
    • Fully remote
    • Compensation: $60–$100/hour
    • Work will involve CUDA kernel optimisation, GPU profiling, C++ development, GLSL, WebGPU, and performance analysis
    • Strong low-level GPU performance expertise is central to this engagement
    • Assignments may involve kernel benchmarking, bottleneck analysis, codebase refactoring, shader development, and architectural evaluation
    • Project scope, workload, hardware targets, and performance requirements may evolve depending on project needs
    • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
