As a Senior Staff Engineer in the AI Software team, you will lead the co-design of software and hardware solutions to optimize AI model inference performance by addressing memory bottlenecks. Your day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing and optimizing large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI workloads across the entire software stack, profiling model execution to identify memory limitations, and collaborating with hardware teams to influence architectural decisions based on real-world workload behavior. You will develop, optimize, and benchmark inference solutions using frameworks like PyTorch and vLLM, while also defining best practices and mentoring others in co-design efforts. The role requires extensive experience with AI infrastructure, including a deep understanding of LLM model architectures, agentic AI workflows, and memory-centric compute approaches such as High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Proficiency in Linux development environments, GitHub, Jira, and hands-on expertise with PyTorch are essential for this high-impact role.
