• Looking for prior experience (professional or personal) in developing high performance systems (e.g. for performance sensitive applications such as video games)
• Previous experience developing algorithms that make use of multithreading and SIMD
• Working knowledge of computer architecture, computational graphs, and compilers

Nice to have:

• Evidence of online contribution to open-source projects is a plus 
• Prior experience with XLA or MLIR is a plus
