Software Engineer - AI/ML, AWS Neuron Distributed Training

Amazon, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127


AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia (Inf1/Inf2) and Trainium (Trn1), our cloud-scale Machine Learning accelerators. This role is for a machine learning engineer in the Distributed Training team for AWS Neuron, responsible for development, enablement, and performance tuning of a wide variety of ML model families, including massive-scale Large Language Models (LLM) such as GPT and Llama, as well as Stable Diffusion, Vision Transformers (ViT), and many more.

The ML Distributed Training team works side by side with chip architects, compiler engineers, and runtime engineers to create, build, and tune distributed training solutions with Trainium instances. Experience with training these large models using Python is a must. FSDP (Fully-Sharded Data Parallel), Deepspeed, and other distributed training libraries are central to this and extending all of this for the Neuron-based system is key.

Key Job Responsibilities

You will help lead the efforts building distributed training support into Pytorch and Tensorflow using XLA and the Neuron compiler and runtime stacks. You will help tune these models to ensure the highest performance and maximize the efficiency of them running on the custom AWS Trainium and Inferentia silicon and the Trn1, Inf1/2 servers. Strong software development and Machine Learning knowledge are both critical to this role.
