Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

Experience developing drivers for GPUs and understanding of Deep Learning and AI.
Expertise in GPU low-level performance tuning/optimization, including profiling and debugging.
Experience writing, debugging and optimizing HLSL/GLSL shader code for gaming, device drivers, real-time systems or low level libraries.
Background in the game industry or in a field that requires high-performance graphics.
Be able to demonstrate initiative and determination to get things done.
