As a senior AI systems architect at our cutting-edge team, you will lead the co-design of next-generation AI systems across hardware and software boundaries, focusing on accelerators, interconnects, memory systems, storage, runtimes, and distributed training frameworks. Your daily tasks include analyzing real workloads to identify bottlenecks and translating insights into actionable system requirements, optimizing parallelism strategies for large-scale AI platforms, and developing performance models to guide future hardware roadmaps. You will collaborate closely with compiler, kernel, and runtime teams to unlock the full potential of current and next-generation accelerators, influence AI hardware design at both system and silicon levels, and mentor senior engineers while setting technical direction across the organization. Proficiency in C/C++, CUDA, Python, and experience with distributed systems, high-performance computing, and ML systems is essential, as well as a deep understanding of large-scale AI clusters and LLMs.
