AI Inference Tech SDM - Lead High-Perf LLM Inference

Software Development Manager, AI Inference Technology, Neuron SDK job at Annapurna Labs (U.S.) Inc.. Seattle, WA. DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. We develop AWS Neuron, the complete software stack for Trainium, Amazon's custom cloudscale machine learning accelerators. Come optimize LLMs such as Llama and GPT OSS to run really fast on Trainium. As the SDM for the Neuron Inference Technology building blocks team, you will guide your expert AI engineers to build fundamental inference technology building blocks and libraries to enable AI developers to optimize model for inference on Trainium and Inferentia devices. We’re currently focusing on MoE models such as GPT OSS for Trainium 2 and the upcoming Trainium 3. You will develop and optimize blocks such as attention kernels and deliver them in the Neuronx_Distributed Inference Libraries, enabling customers to optimize LLMs, multimodal, and generative models. The ideal candidate will have an established background in optimizing LLMs, such as delivering high-performance models using distributed inference libraries. You should be capable of managing demanding, fast-changing priorities. You should have a strong technical ability to understand and deliver as part of a vertically integrated system stack consisting of the PyTorch inference library, Neuron compiler, runtime and collectives. A day in the life You will work with your senior management and technical leaders to define the building blocks for the latest LLMs, build and deliver them to customers. You will manage changing priorities as new models and new technologies emerge, and you adapt your team’s work to manage them. You will dive deep to help your team solve technical challenges.
