Job Description:
Our team is building the offloading runtime that powers heterogeneous compute across GPUs and CPUs in the LLVM ecosystem. We're developing liboffload-a modern C API and implementation that sits beneath languages and frameworks like SYCL and OpenMP, bridging to driver-level backends (Level Zero, CUDA, HIP/ROCm, OpenCL) and enabling highperformance execution on diverse hardware. Translation: we get to design core runtime APIs, experiment with cuttingedge GPU features, and ship upstream code that others will build on for years. And this is your chance to do the same. Liboffload builds on proven OpenMP offload infrastructure in LLVM and evolves it into a generalpurpose runtime that language runtimes plug into.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement runtime APIs in liboffload.
- Build and evolve backends/adapters that target driver-level stacks (Level Zero, CUDA, HIP/ROCm, OpenCL), and modernize features inherited from libomptarget plugins to meet SYCL and OpenMP needs.
- Contribute upstream across LLVM: liboffload, libomptarget plugins, offload utilities, and SYCL runtime integration paths. writing code, reviews, and docs alongside the community.
- Collaborate across the stack: work with compiler (Clang/LLVM IR/SPIRV), runtime (SYCL/OpenMP), and driver teams to implement new features.
- Engage with the community: present design proposals, participate in reviews and community calls, and help document best practices for language implementers on top of liboffload.
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications:
- Strong systems programming in C/C++ (Rust a plus) with a track record of shipping highquality, welltested code in complex runtimes or lowlevel libraries.
- Solid understanding of modern computer architecture, heterogeneous memory models, concurrency, and performance engineering.
- Experience debugging and profiling nontrivial software (symbolic debuggers, sanitizers, perf tools, tracing).
- Excellent English communication-async discussion, code reviews, design docs, RFCs-in a distributed opensource environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with GPU programming stacks (Level Zero, CUDA, HIP/ROCm, OpenCL) and SPIRV.
- Experience with LLVM internals (libomptarget plugins, TableGen, Clang offload pipeline) or prior contributions to LLVM.
- Knowledge of Build/CI tooling (CMake, GitHub Actions), and scripting (Python) for automation and benchmarking.
