The ML Framework (MetalLM) Engineer joins the GPU, Graphics and Machine Learning team to enable high-performance, distributed inference of GenAI applications like LLMs on Private Cloud Compute. You will develop kernel and compiler level optimizations while implementing features for Metal device backends to accelerate training frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX. Day-to-day responsibilities include optimizing code for scalable inference using data, tensor, pipeline, and expert parallelism, alongside applying techniques like quantization, compression, and speculation to improve throughput and reduce latency. The role requires expertise in C/C++/ObjC, GPU kernel development with Metal or CUDA, and system level programming. You will collaborate with hardware and compiler teams to align software performance with Apple Silicon capabilities. Preferred skills include experience with Triton, OpenXLA, LLVM/MLIR, and contributions to major AI frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
