You will be a member of the Triton Accel team and part of the bigger industry-leading PyTorch AI framework organization. Triton is a breakthrough Python-based language and compiler for authoring performant kernels for AI Accelerators such as GPUs. Our team works on all aspects of Triton - compiler optimizations (architecture-independent and dependent), performance and debug tooling, authoring performant kernels, and more. Our emphasis is OSS, but we also work with internal product teams.
Research Scientist, Systems ML - Frameworks / Compilers / Kernels (PhD) Responsibilities
  • Research and development of SW stack with one of the following core focus areas: AI frameworks, compiler stack, high performance kernel development and acceleration onto next generation of AI Accelerators architectures.
  • Contribute to the development of the industry-leading PyTorch AI framework core compilers to support new state of the art inference and training AI hardware accelerators and optimize their performance.
  • Analyze deep learning networks, develop & implement compiler optimization algorithms.
  • Collaborating with AI research scientists to accelerate the next generation of deep learning models such as Recommendation systems, Generative AI, Computer vision, NLP etc.
  • Performance tuning and optimizations of deep learning framework & software components.
Minimum Qualifications
