Job description

We are seeking a software engineer to support the development of the compiler tool-chain for state-of-the-art deep learning hardware components optimized for AR/VR systems. You will be part of our efforts to architect, design and implement a clean slate compiler for this activity and will be part of a team that includes compiler, machine learning algorithms and software, firmware and ASIC experts. You will contribute to a full stack development effort compiling PyTorch models down to binaries for custom hardware accelerator blocks., * Analyze and design effective compiler passes and optimizations. Implement and/or enhance code generation targeting machine learning accelerators

  • Work with algorithm research teams to support the co-design of hardware features mapping ML graphs to hardware implementations, modeling data-flows, creating cost-benefit analysis and estimating silicon power and performance
  • Work with hardware architects to co-design hardware features that maximize performance, power efficiency and programmability
  • Contribute to the development of machine-learning libraries, intermediate representations, export formats, and analysis tools
  • Collaborate with the team to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and stability of our toolchains by focusing on kernel optimization and tuning
  • Conduct design and code reviews. Evaluate code performance, debug, diagnose and drive resolution of compiler and cross-disciplinary system issues
  • Interface with other compiler-focused teams to evaluate and incorporate their innovations and vice versa

Requirements

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
  • Experience in software design and programming experience in Python and/or C/C++ for development, debugging, testing and performance analysis
  • Experience in AI framework development or accelerating models on hardware architectures (GPU, TPU, custom AI ASICs)
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment, * Experience working on and contributing to an active compiler toolchain codebase, such as LLVM, MLIR, GCC, MSVC, Glow
  • Experience of developing in a mainstream machine-learning framework, e.g. PyTorch, MLIR, Tensorflow or Caffe
  • 1+ years experience developing compilers or similar code optimization software
  • Experience collaborating with hardware, firmware, or algorithm teams to define and deliver shared technical objectives
  • Experience developing high-performance kernels or runtime components and tuning them for inference specific accelerator platforms
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Experience in deep learning algorithms and techniques, e.g., convolutional neural networks, recurrent networks, etc
  • Experience with machine-code generation or compiler back-ends for on-device inference workloads
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)

About the company

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
