Developer Relations Engineer

Codeplay is leading the development of the world's fastest growing ecosystem for AI and HPC. Our team has been involved in defining the SYCL open standard from the beginning, and SYCL is now being used to help developers migrate away from proprietary programming APIs. Codeplay developed ComputeCpp, the first conformant implementation of the SYCL standard which is being used by developers around the world. Our team has also made a major contribution to the open source DPC++ SYCL compiler to enable developers to target Nvidia devices. The result of this is that we are supporting a larger and larger community of developers, and we need to expand our team to help make these developers successful.

We are looking for someone who can help us to support and educate the SYCL developer community. This role will involve supporting and working directly with developers using the SYCL open standard, creating guides and resources that demonstrate how to use SYCL and educating SYCL developers both online and at conferences. You will be using a variety of technologies from the SYCL ecosystem, including ComputeCpp, DPC++, BLAS libaries and more to support developers and show real world use cases for SYCL. Attendance at conferences both online and in person is likely to help present SYCL and educate developers.

The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual who can work through a problem from start to finish, documenting each step and writing tests to ensure correctness where applicable. They will also be able to manage numerous concurrent support conversations and threads, be comfortable with asking colleagues for help, or scouring documentation for relevant information required to complete tasks. They will also be expected to produce high quality, readable and well-commented code that will be published as open source and used by our developer community.
