What Makes This Role Unique
Direct influence on AWSs AI infrastructure used by thousands of ML applications Full?stack optimization from high?level frameworks to hardware?specific primitives Creation of tools and frameworks that define industry standards for ML deployment Collaboration with both open?source ML communities and hardware architecture teams
Your Technical Arsenal Should Include
Deep expertise in Python and ML framework internals Strong understanding of distributed systems and ML optimization Passion for performance tuning and system architecture
A Day in the Life
Work/Life Balance Our team puts a high value on work?life balance. It isnt about how many hours you spend at home or at work; its about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life?long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives. Mentorship & Career Growth Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and were building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better?rounded professional and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future. About the Team
At AWS Neuron, we're revolutionizing how the world's most sophisticated AI models run at scale through Amazon's next?generation AI accelerators. Operating at the unique intersection of ML frameworks and custom silicon, our team drives innovation from silicon architecture to production software deployment. We pioneer distributed inference solutions for PyTorch and JAX using XLA, optimize industry?leading LLMs like GPT and Llama, and collaborate directly with silicon architects to influence the future of AI hardware. Our systems handle millions of inference calls daily, while our optimizations directly impact thousands of AWS customers running critical AI workloads. We're focused on pushing the boundaries of large language model optimization, distributed inference architecture, and hardware?specific performance tuning. Our deep technical experts transform complex ML challenges into elegant, scalable solutions that define how AI workloads run in production. Qualifications
3+ years of computer science fundamentals (object?oriented design, data structures, algorithm design, problem solving and complexity analysis) experience 3+ years of programming experience using Python or C++ and PyTorch. Experience with AI acceleration via quantization, parallelism, model compression, batching, KV caching, vllm serving Experience with accuracy debugging & tooling, performance benchmarking of AI accelerators Fundamentals of Machine learning and deep learning models, their architecture, training and inference lifecycles along with work experience on optimizations for improving the model execution. Bachelors degree in computer science or equivalent
