Responsibilities
- Own the performance autotuning strategy for MTIA inference and training — current and future chip generations
- Build and maintain our autotuning infrastructure: search spaces, cost models, benchmarking harnesses, and performance regression detection
- Define how we trade off search cost against performance gains, and where autotuning fits in the compile/deploy pipeline
- Partner with kernel and compiler teams to expose tunable parameters and encode them into an automated search
- Debug performance issues that span multiple layers — kernel, runtime, compiler, or serving infra — and drive them to root-cause
- Collaborate with product teams to accelerate model performance on MTIA
- Set technical direction and help the team grow. We've scaled fast and need people who can elevate the impact around them, not just ship their own code
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong Python and C++ skills, with hands-on experience across the PyTorch stack
- 4+ years in ML systems, AI infra, performance engineering, or similar
- Experience driving problems that span multiple teams, where no one owns the whole picture
- Experience with accelerator performance concepts — roofline analysis, memory bandwidth, occupancy, and what makes kernels fast or slow on hardware
- Track record of setting technical direction and mentoring engineers
- BS in CS, CE, Math, or equivalent experience
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
