MulticoreWare - Cloud Platform Architect

Description Us :MulticoreWare is a global software solutions & products company with its HQ in San Jose, CA, USA. With worldwide offices, it serves its clients and partners in North America, EMEA and APAC regions. Started by a group of researchers, MulticoreWare has grown to serve its clients and partners on HPC & Cloud computing, GPUs, Multicore & Multithread CPUS, DSPs, FPGAs and a variety of AI hardware was founded by a team of researchers that wanted a better way to program for heterogeneous architectures. With the advent of GPUs and the increasing prevalence of multi-core, multi-architecture platforms, our clients were struggling with the difficulties of using these platforms efficiently.We started as a boot-strapped services company and have since expanded our portfolio to span products and services related to compilers, machine learning, video codecs, image processing and augmented/virtual reality. Our hardware expertise has also expanded with our team; we now employ experts on HPC and Cloud Computing, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and mobile and embedded platforms. We specialize in accelerating software and algorithms, so if your code targets a multi-core, heterogeneous platform, we can help.Job Description Overview :We are looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Architect with deep expertise in networking, storage, and Kubernetes to design and implement a cloud platform at scale, similar to AWS/GCP/Azure.
