About the role
Senior software engineer role focused on building distributed training and post-training support into PyTorch and JAX for AWS Trainium accelerators, enabling large-scale training, RLHF, and related workloads across the Neuron stack with a hardware-software co-design approach.
Responsibilities
- Lead the effort to build distributed training and post-training support into PyTorch and JAX for Trainium accelerators.
- Work across PyTorch and Neuron software stack with the Neuron compiler and runtime teams to enable and fine tune large-scale training, post training, and reinforcement learning workloads on the latest Trainium instances.
- Own the parallelism strategies these models depend on, spanning data, tensor, pipeline, expert, and context parallelism, and apply reduced-precision formats where they measurably pay off.
- Profile end-to-end to determine whether a workload is bound by compute, memory, collectives, or host overhead, then drive fixes to the responsible layer, collaborating with compiler, runtime, and collectives engineers.
- Translate performance gaps into requirements that influence frameworks, and contribute upstream to open source frameworks our customers train on.
