  • Experience writing software explicitly targeting GPUs through CUDA, HIP/ROCm, OpenCL, SYCL/oneAPI or compiler offload directives.
  • Experience with scientific computing on commodity / cloud hardware (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Experience with scientific computing on HPC / supercomputer platforms.
  • Experience with build-system tooling & compilers (e.g., CMake, ninja, GCC, Clang, MSVC).
