How does swipeandhired work?

You set your target roles, salary floor and locations once. swipeandhired scores matching postings against your profile, drafts tailored application materials with AI, and either lets you swipe to apply, one tap at a time, or runs fully on autopilot. Every application is tracked in your dashboard.

Which ATS platforms does swipeandhired support?

All of them. swipeandhired applies on every applicant tracking system (ATS) employers use, including Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Ashby, Taleo, SuccessFactors, Oracle Cloud and Jobvite, and on a company's own careers page when it uses none of them. You can also bring any posting yourself by link or pasted text.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, in one click from the billing portal in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.

Is my data used for training AI models?

No. Your resume and application data are processed only to run the service for you, matching, drafting, and submitting applications. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

DigitalOcean is seeking a Senior Engineer 2 to play a key technical role in our AI Inference Optimization team. DigitalOcean aims to be the Inference Cloud of choice for digitally native companies and you will help ensure we can offer the industry-leading performance for our inference services. You will be responsible for the architectural decisions that maximize throughput and minimize latency for the world’s most advanced large models. As an IC leader, you will act as a force multiplier for the engineering organization, solving the most complex bottlenecks in memory bandwidth and compute utilization while guiding the technical roadmap for our high-performance inference fleet.

What You’ll Do:

Performance Architecture: Lead the technical strategy for benchmarking and performance optimizations at the inference engine and GPU kernel layers, ensuring our infrastructure extracts maximum value from every TFLOP.

Deep-Dive Optimization: Engineer solutions for complex performance issues, including attention layer optimizations, memory and precision management, and advanced parallelization across multi-node GPU clusters.

Technological Innovation: Proactively implement cutting-edge optimization techniques to keep DigitalOcean at the forefront of the Gen AI landscape. Some examples of projects you may work on:

Improving batch size performance using AMD's AITER library for AMD MI355X - identify and tune AITER's CK (composable kernel) or ASK (assembly) to optimize FP8 / BF16

Identify kernel fusion opportunities for GLM-5 kernels for different layers of the Transformer block (FlashAttention, RMS Norm)

Tune expert gateway router kernels for MoE models like Qwen3-235B, DeepSeek V3, GLM-5 etc

Hardware & Ecosystem Mastery: Act as the subject matter expert on modern GPU families (NVIDIA/AMD) and their software stacks (CUDA, ROCm, TensorRT, OpenAI Triton), advising on hardware procurement and software integration.

Precision Optimization: Develop and deploy state-of-the-art quantization techniques (FP8, INT8, and experimental FP4 ) to double throughput without losing accuracy.

Technical Mentorship: Lead by example through high-quality code and design reviews, elevating the technical bar for the team without the administrative overhead of direct management.

Strategic Collaboration: Partner with Product Management and TPMs to translate "theoretical hardware limits" into "shippable product features," ensuring our platform is both powerful and developer-friendly.

Community Leadership: Maintain a strong presence in the GPU infrastructure and model performance optimization communities, contributing to and integrating the best of open-source AI.

What You’ll Bring to DigitalOcean:

Technical Depth: 5+ years of experience in high-performance computing or AI infrastructure, with a proven track record of solving compute utilization and memory bandwidth bottlenecks.

Gen AI Literacy: Deep familiarity with the Gen AI (LLM, VLM, LMM) landscape, including the specific quirks and architectural requirements of major model families.

Optimization Expert: Hands-on experience with attention-layer optimizations and parallelization strategies across distributed GPU environments.

Hardware Fluency: Comprehensive understanding of NVIDIA and AMD GPU architectures and their respective software ecosystems (CUDA, ROCm, etc.).

Open Source Mastery: Extensive experience integrating, building with, and contributing to open-source software projects.

Systems Design: Excellent system design skills, particularly related to low-level GPU programming - optimization, memory access patterns, and parallel execution.

Leadership through Influence: Experience acting as a technical lead, driving design and delivery through cross-functional alignment and expert-level delegation.

Low-Level Mastery: Deep understanding of GPU architectures (SMs, Warp scheduling, Tensor Cores).

The Toolkit: Expert-level Triton or CUDA. If you’ve contributed to the Triton compiler or wrote custom CUDA kernels for a major LLM, we want you.

Compensation Range:

$191,200 - $239,000
