As a Senior Deep Learning Compiler Engineer on the Deep Learning Compiler team, you will develop compiler optimization algorithms and analyze deep learning networks to accelerate next-generation software. Your daily responsibilities include defining public APIs, performing performance optimizations, crafting infrastructure techniques for neural networks, and executing general software engineering tasks in collaboration with hardware architecture and framework teams. You will work with technologies including C++, Python, MLIR, XLA, TVM, LLVM, and PyTorch to improve inference performance, build times, and memory footprints for models like large language models and generative AI. The role addresses the technical challenge of optimizing deep learning workloads across data centers, personal devices, automotive systems, and robotics. You will leverage your expertise in GPU/CPU architecture, CUDA, or OpenCL to solve complex problems within the broader deep learning community.

What you'll do

  • Analyze deep learning networks to develop compiler optimization algorithms.
  • Define public APIs and implement compiler infrastructure techniques for neural networks.
  • Perform performance analysis and optimizations to improve inference speed and memory footprint.
  • Develop software using C++, Python, and CUDA/OpenCL for GPU acceleration.
  • Generate high-performance GPU kernels with fast build times.
  • Design and implement tools for both Ahead-of-Time and Just-in-Time compilation.
  • Lead development efforts by defining project goals and scope independently.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of relevant work or research experience in performance analysis and compiler optimizations.
  • Excellent C/C++ and Python programming skills including debugging, performance analysis, and test design.
  • Ability to work independently, define project goals, and lead development efforts.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a dynamic product-oriented team.
  • Proficiency in CPU and/or GPU architecture with CUDA or OpenCL programming experience.
  • Experience with MLIR, XLA, TVM, LLVM, deep learning models, and frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Experience in systems with constrained resources, such as embedded platforms and cross-compilation.
