Key Responsibilities
- Profile and optimize end-to-end AI training and inference pipelines for throughput, latency, and cost.

- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across data loading, model compute, communication, and memory.

- Implement and tune quantization, sparsity, and pruning strategies to reduce model footprint and accelerate inference.

- Optimize distributed training using tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, FSDP, and ZeRO-style sharding.

- Tune attention implementations using FlashAttention, paged attention, and related techniques.

- Implement KV cache optimization, continuous batching, and speculative decoding for LLM serving.

- Drive compiler-level optimizations using Triton, XLA, TorchInductor, or TVM, working with the broader ML framework community to land improvements that translate into measurable end-to-end performance gains.

- Optimize data pipelines, sharding strategies, and storage access patterns for high-throughput training.

- Build and maintain rigorous benchmark suites and regression frameworks across workloads.

- Collaborate with ML and platform engineering teams to embed best practices in standard pipelines.

- Drive cost-efficiency improvements through model architecture, hardware selection, and scheduling strategies.

- Evaluate new hardware and software offerings, and advise on adoption.

- Document performance tuning playbooks and share findings broadly across engineering teams.

- Stay current with AI systems research and translate advances into production improvements.

Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

- Six or more years of experience in performance engineering, ML systems, or HPC.

- Strong proficiency in Python and C++.

- Hands-on experience optimizing deep learning workloads on modern GPUs.

- Deep understanding of distributed training and inference techniques.

- Experience with profiling tools across CPU, GPU, and distributed systems.

- Familiarity with model compression techniques and their accuracy implications.

- Strong grasp of memory hierarchies, communication primitives, and parallelism strategies.

- Excellent measurement, debugging, and analytical reasoning skills.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience optimizing LLM inference at production scale.

- Contributions to vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, DeepSpeed, or similar projects.

- Familiarity with custom kernel authoring in Triton or CUTLASS.

- Experience with FinOps for AI workloads.

- Publications or talks on AI systems performance.
