  • Optimize workloads for efficient hardware utilization (e.g. CPU and GPU compute, data throughput, networking)

Requirements

  • Members of the Autopilot AI Infrastructure team are expected to be adaptable to the dynamic requirements of AI research and capable of contributing across all parts of the AI training software stack
  • Practical experience programming in Python and / or C / C
  • Experience programming in CUDA, cuDNN or Triton, particularly in the context of operations used in AI workloads
  • Experience profiling and optimizing CPU-GPU interactions (pipelining computation with data transfers, etc.)
  • Experience working with training frameworks (ideally PyTorch)
  • Proficient in system-level software, in particular hardware-software interactions and resource utilization
  • Experience with parallel programming concepts and primitives
  • Understanding of modern machine learning concepts and state of the art deep learning
  • Experience scaling neural network training jobs across many GPUs
