Machine Learning - Compiler Engineer II, Annapurna Labs

Product

The Product: AWS Machine Learning accelerators are at the forefront of AWS innovation and one of several AWS tools used for building Generative AI on AWS. The Inferentia chip delivers best-in‑class ML inference performance at the lowest cost in cloud. Trainium will deliver the best-in‑class ML training performance with the most teraflops (TFLOPS) of compute power for ML in the cloud.

This is all enabled by cutting edge software stack, the AWS Neuron Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes an ML compiler, runtime and natively integrates into popular ML frameworks, such as PyTorch, Tensor Flow and MxNet. AWS Neuron and Inferentia are used at scale with customers like Snap, Autodesk, Amazon Alexa, Amazon Rekognition and more customers in various other segments.

The Team:
As a whole, the Amazon Annapurna Labs team is responsible for silicon development  team covers multiple disciplines including silicon engineering, hardware design and verification, software and operations.

The AWS Neuron team works to optimize the performance of complex neural net models on our custom‑built AWS hardware. More specifically, the AWS Neuron team is developing a deep learning compiler stack that takes neural network descriptions created in frameworks such as Tensor Flow, PyTorch, and MXNET, and converts them into code suitable for execution. As you might expect, the team is comprised of some of the brightest minds in the engineering, research, and product communities, focused on the ambitious goal of creating a toolchain that will provide a quantum leap in performance.

You:
Machine Learning Compiler Engineer II on the AWS Neuron team, you will be supporting the ground‑up development and scaling of a compiler to handle the world's largest ML workloads. Architecting and implementing business‑critical features, publishing cutting‑edge research, and contributing to a brilliant team of experienced engineers excites and challenges you. You will leverage your technical communications skill as a hands‑on partner to AWS ML services teams and you will be involved in pre‑silicon design, bringing new products/features to market, and many other exciting projects.

A background in Machine Learning and AI accelerators is preferred, but not required.

• 3+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non‑internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language. 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee‑led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and Amaze Con (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team puts a high value on work‑life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life.
