C++ / CUDA Backend Developer - Contract

Remote | £400-£500 per day | Outside IR35 | 6-Month Initial Engagement

Overview

We're looking for an experienced CUDA Backend Developer to join a high-performance engineering team working on GPU-accelerated simulation and AI workloads. You'll collaborate with C++ systems engineers and research scientists to design, implement, and optimize GPU-intensive Back End modules that push the limits of performance and scalability.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement GPU kernels in CUDA C, focusing on:
• Kernel fusion
• On-device operations
• GPU memory optimization
• Build and use profiling tools (eg, Nsight) to measure and improve GPU utilization, inference latency, and training throughput.
• Optimize custom models for deployment with TensorRT or similar inference engines.
• Integrate GPU functionality into Back End APIs and orchestration layers.
• Work closely with research and engineering teams to translate models into performant CUDA implementations.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience in C++ (11/14/17) and CUDA C programming.
• Proven track record using GPUs for compute-intensive applications in production environments.
• Hands-on with CUDA profiling, debugging, and Kernel optimization.
• Deep understanding of multi-threaded/multi-process architectures and Linux systems development.
• Proficiency in low-level I/O, memory management, and performance tuning

Nice to Have

• Experience with distributed training/inference pipelines.
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to Embedded systems or hardware-level software integration.

Start: ASAP

Duration: 6 months (strong potential to extend)

Location: Remote (UK or EU-based preferred)

IR35: Outside
