Job description
- Profile and optimize end-to-end AI training and inference pipelines for throughput, latency, and cost.
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across data loading, model compute, communication, and memory.
- Implement and tune quantization, sparsity, and pruning strategies to reduce model footprint and accelerate inference.
- Optimize distributed training using tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, FSDP, and ZeRO-style sharding.
- Tune attention implementations using FlashAttention, paged attention, and related techniques.
- Implement KV cache optimization, continuous batching, and speculative decoding for LLM serving.
- Drive compiler-level optimizations using Triton, XLA, TorchInductor, or TVM, working with the broader ML framework community to land improvements that translate into measurable end-to-end performance gains.
- Optimize data pipelines, sharding strategies, and storage access patterns for high-throughput training.
- Build and maintain rigorous benchmark suites and regression frameworks across workloads.
- Collaborate with ML and platform engineering teams to embed best practices in standard pipelines.
- Drive cost-efficiency improvements through model architecture, hardware selection, and scheduling strategies.
- Evaluate new hardware and software offerings, and advise on adoption.
- Document performance tuning playbooks and share findings broadly across engineering teams.
- Stay current with AI systems research and translate advances into production improvements.
