Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS Neuron Inference
AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia and Trainium cloud-scale machinelearning accelerators and the Trn1 and Inf2 servers that use them. This role is for a software engineer in the Neuron Inference (ML Apps) team for AWS Neuron.This role is responsible for development, enablement and performance optimization (latency, throughput) of a wide variety of ML model families, including massive scale large language models like Llama3, DBRX, and beyond, as well as Stable Diffusion, Vision Transformers and many more.The Neuron Inference team works side by side with compiler engineers and runtime engineers to create, build and tune distributed inference solutions with Trn1/Inf2. Experience optimizing inference performance for both latency and throughput on these large models using PyTorch or JAX is a must. Experience with technologies/tools such as vLLM, Hugging Face, multi-modal inference, etc. is highly valued.*Utility Computing (UC)* AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.Key job responsibilitiesThis role will help lead the efforts building distributed inference support into Pytorch, Tensorflow using XLA and the Neuron compiler and runtime stacks. This role will help tune these models to ensure highest performance and maximize the efficiency of them running on the AWS Trainium and Inferentia silicon. Strong software development using C++/Python and ML knowledge are both critical to this role.A day in the lifeAs you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects.
