About The Position

AWS Neuron is a software stack for the Annapurna Inferentia and Trainium machine learning accelerators hosted inside AWS EC2 Trn1/2 and Inf1 servers. As the Principal Engineer for the Neuron Distributed Training team, you will be responsible for working hands-on with a strong team of engineers to help design and optimize ML on Neuron devices. Specifically focus on bringing up a coherent solution across the stack to increase the training resiliency for ultra clusters with thousands of nodes. You will Scale and Optimize the application stack for LLMs that leverage multi-modal modes of input/output-generation such as Text, Vision, Video, Audio etc. You will be responsible for the full development life cycle of providing Distributed Training support for multi-modal transformer models such as MM-Llama3.2, DiT/Pixart, CLIP etc. You will develop scalability features and performance optimizations in the Neuron ML Framework components to enable them make Trainium devices as the first-class citizens for ML Acceleration. Lead the way to ensure support for key ML functionality in a combined chip / software platform. Ensure the right thing is being built and delivered to customers A successful candidate will have an established background in Scaling and Stabilizing Machine Learning Distributed Training components along-with a strong technical ability to work/deliver on a vertically integrated system stack that consists of a combinatorial matrix of hardware, frameworks, and workflows. Deep expertise in scaling model training across thousands of nodes a must along-with direct customer-facing experience and a strong motivation to achieve results. Key job responsibilities This role will help lead the efforts building distributed training large cluster stability support into Pytorch, Jax using XLA and the Neuron compiler and runtime stacks. This role will help tune these models to ensure highest performance and maximize the efficiency of them running on the customer AWS Trainium TRN2+ servers. Strong software development and ML knowledge are both critical to this role.
