Role Overview

We are looking for experienced CUDA and GPU performance engineers to analyze, profile, and optimize high-performance kernels and supporting C++ code. The role combines CUDA optimization, GPU profiling, C++, shader development, and performance analysis across different GPU architectures. No prior AI experience is required; strong systems and GPU engineering expertise is the key requirement.

CONTRACT: Freelance contractor, paid per completed task

COMMITMENT: Flexible, based on available tasks and project demand

LOCATIONS: Fully remote - GLOBAL

PROCESS: Application review, technical assessment, and onboarding

HOURLY RATE: $60-$100/h

Responsibilities

• Analyze and optimize CUDA kernels for throughput, latency, and hardware utilization.

• Profile GPU workloads to identify compute, memory, synchronization, and execution bottlenecks.

• Develop and implement targeted kernel optimization strategies.

• Refactor C++ and CUDA codebases for performance, maintainability, and portability.

• Evaluate kernel behavior across different GPU architectures and hardware generations.

• Develop or adapt shader and compute workflows using GLSL and WebGPU.

• Use GPU profiling tools to validate improvements and compare performance.

• Document optimization approaches, benchmarks, findings, and performance gains.

• Contribute technical input to GPU architecture and performance-design discussions.

• Evaluate emerging GPU programming techniques and apply relevant improvements.

• Strong professional experience with CUDA programming and GPU kernel optimization.

• Advanced proficiency in C++, ideally in high-performance or systems programming environments.

• Proven experience profiling and tuning GPU workloads for performance.

• Hands-on experience with GPU profiling tools such as NVIDIA Nsight or comparable tools.

• Strong understanding of GPU architecture, memory hierarchy, parallel execution, and synchronization.

• Experience analyzing performance across different GPU hardware generations.

• Hands-on experience with GLSL and/or WebGPU for shader or compute development.

• Ability to document performance findings and technical decisions clearly in English.
