Senior C++ Engineer
We are seeking a Senior C++ Engineer to join a high-impact engineering initiative supporting core compiler and machine learning infrastructure for a global technology leader and pioneer in cloud, search, and AI platform infrastructure. In this role, you will play a pivotal part within a dedicated Grid Dynamics squad, driving the open-source OpenXLA pull request (PR) workflow and maintaining system stability. As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will combine strong hands-on C++ expertise - managing community contributions, troubleshooting complex GPU/CPU build and test failures, implementing targeted fixes, and collaborating with dedicated FTE rotation teams on high-level architectural escalations.
Essential functions
Manage, coordinate, and streamline the OpenXLA pull request (PR) workflow within a large-scale, high-concurrency open-source C++ repository.
Diagnose, debug, and implement code fixes for failed OpenXLA PRs and internal automated test suites where resolutions are well-understood or non-complex.
Monitor open PRs, conduct technical triage, and maintain active, professional communication with PR authors and community contributors.
Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve complex build and runtime failures across XLA:GPU and XLA:CPU pipelines.
Follow established OpenXLA engineering practices, accurately determining issue severity and technical complexity to guide escalation paths.
Escalate deep compiler/hardware architecture issues, special privilege requests, or non-trivial investigations to the appropriate FTE/rotation teams.
Qualifications
5+ years of commercial software engineering experience with a strong foundation in modern C++ (C++14/17/20).
Proven experience working with large-scale, complex C++ open-source codebases and managing PR workflows.
Strong expertise in C++ build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and debugging build/test failures in Linux environments.
Hands-on professional background within semiconductor, chipmaker, hardware design, or enterprise hardware organizations (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, ARM, Dell, Linaro, Huawei, Linux Foundation, MS, or similar).
Strong analytical and triage skills—ability to independently isolate root causes in software failures and determine escalation paths.
High degree of autonomy, proactive follow-up habits, and strong technical communication skills in English.
Would be a plus
Direct experience with LLVM infrastructure, compilers, or code generation frameworks.
Practical exposure to XLA, OpenXLA, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or deep learning compiler internals.
Conceptual understanding or hands-on experience with GPU/CPU internal architectures, memory models, and hardware acceleration (CUDA, ROCm).
Familiarity with modern AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot).
Experience working within Google internal development environments and tooling.
We offer
- Opportunity to work on bleeding-edge projects
- Work with a highly motivated and dedicated team
- Competitive salary
- Flexible schedule
- Benefits package - medical insurance, sports
