About the role
Responsibilities:
Learn and build an intuitive understanding of existing data collection, analysis, and visualization workflows with deep introspection across Frameworks, Accelerated Linear Algebra (XLA) and runtime stack.
Support new and exciting ML paradigms (such as horizontal scaling for upcoming TPU chips) by making contributions across the end to end stack and analysis tools. Partner with ML Stack leads to understand model optimization use cases and bring debugging to feel native in 3P environments (VSCode, Cursor, Grafana, etc).
Work with OSS ML inference frameworks such as vLLM, SGLang to provide insights in Xprof about performance improvement opportunities.
Partner with other teams that own various parts of the ML stack to understand performance optimization use cases. Work with OSS ML inference frameworks such as TorchTPU, vLLM, SGLang to provide insights into performance bottlenecks.
Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of experience with software engineering, machine learning infrastructure, computer architecture, distributed computing, people management, debugging tools, communication.
Experience with people management, and building infrastructure to improve performance of Machine Learning (ML) systems and applications.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with Performance Optimization, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Programming, High Performance Computing, Large Language Model, Open Source Contributor.
Experience with the Machine Learning infra and frameworks and hands-on experience with GPU or Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) performance analysis.
Experience in building agentic workflows for performance debugging and optimization. Ability to generate ideas and resolve ambiguity.
Hands-on experience with Machine Learning (ML) frameworks such as TensorFlow, JAX, and PyTorch, Keras. Experience with ML Inference frameworks such as vLLM, SG Lang, Pathways and experience in open-source software development, including experience in releasing and supporting open-source projects.
