Machine Learning Performance Engineer
Skills
About the Role
You will work in a small and highly technical team operating at extremely high and low levels of abstraction to dramatically increase the performance of the firm's training and inference platforms. You won't just write CUDA code — you'll build a sophisticated optimising compiler for a variety of accelerated computing platforms. You'll need to be proficient in memory hierarchies, degrees of parallelism, microarchitectural nuances around instruction dispatch rates, and irregular bitwidth numerics. You'll also help design novel hardware architectures for accelerating models, mapping AI models from JAX graphs down to transistors.
Requirements
- Experienced software engineer, likely in C/C++/Rust or a similar language
- Confident solving complex algorithmic problems
- Understanding of, and some experience targeting, GPUs, TPUs, or similar hardware
- Some experience working with data-flow oriented compilers for AI or scientific computing
- Writing Linux kernel modules or other experience in OS development
