Middleware Development Engineer

About This Role

• As a Middleware Development Engineer (Rust), you will build high-impact systems software that connects low-level compute capabilities with developer-friendly runtime APIs.
• This role is focused on Rust-based GPU middleware and open source contribution, with a strong emphasis on advancing and maintaining the oneAPI-rs ecosystem (Rust oneAPI bindings and abstractions).
• You will help design and optimize components that bridge oneAPI software stack functionality with modern Rust applications used in AI, HPC, and performance-critical workloads.
• Working with internal engineering teams, open source maintainers, and external users, you will shape reliable, ergonomic, and high-performance abstractions that scale from local development to distributed production environments.
• Key Responsibilities Design, implement, and maintain Rust middleware and runtime layers for GPU-accelerated workloads.
• Contribute directly to the oneAPI-rs codebase, including API design, feature development, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
• Build safe and ergonomic Rust abstractions over oneAPI concepts such as memory management, kernels, module loading, and execution flows.
• Improve integration paths between Rust applications and GPU compute stacks used in AI and HPC workloads.
• Diagnose and resolve complex systems-level issues related to performance, memory behavior, concurrency, and multi-device execution.
• Develop validation strategies with representative benchmarks and real-world workloads; analyze latency, throughput, and resource utilization.
• Strengthen code quality through tests, documentation, examples, and CI-focused reliability improvements.
• Collaborate in open source workflows through technical design discussions, issue triage, code reviews, and upstream contributions.
• Partner cross-functionally with architecture, performance, and product teams to align technical direction with business priorities.
