Software Development Engineer - AI/ML , AWS Neuron Frameworks

AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia and Trainium cloud-scale machine
learning accelerators. As a part of the Neuron Frameworks team you'll develop and enhance support PyTorch and JAX for AWS Neuron, working with the open source ecosystem.

You will develop and extend support for the leading ML frameworks, delivering an outstanding user experience for PyTorch and JAX ML model development on the Trainium and Inferentia accelerators. You will work closely with teams across AWS Neuron including compiler, training and inference optimization to optimize frameworks for AWS's accelerator architectures, and engage closely with the PyTorch and JAX and other ML Framework communities to take advantage of their latest capabilities and improve performance and usability for ML model developers.

A successful candidate will have a experience developing Machine Learning infrastructure and/or ML Frameworks, a demonstrated ability to work with open source communities to influence future community direction, a robust technical ability and a motivation to achieve results. Experience with technologies and tools such as XLA, vLLM or Hugging Face transformers is highly valued.

Key job responsibilities
This 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 customer AWS Trainium and Inferentia silicon and the TRn1 , Inf1 servers. Strong software development using C++/Python and ML knowledge are both critical to this role.

A day in the life
You will work with the team to develop, improve and release JAX and Pytorch framework support for AWS Neuron.
You will understand current and future directions of ML framework development, with a focus on enabling key features of modern frameworks such as Torch.compile().
You will work closely with the PyTorch and JAX community to actively drive the future directions to improve the experience of developing and optimizing ML models on accelerators
