Sr. Machine Learning - Compiler Engineer Iii, Aws Neuron, Annapurna Labs

Overview

Do you want to be part of the AI revolution? At AWS we create innovative software and hardware solutions that make deep learning pervasive for everyday developers. AWS Neuron is an SDK that optimizes the performance of complex ML models on AWS Inferentia and Trainium, custom chips designed to accelerate deep‑learning workloads. This role is for a senior software engineer in the Compiler team responsible for building the next‑generation Neuron compiler, which transforms ML models written in frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX into efficient deployments on AWS Inferentia and Trainium servers.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, deploy, and maintain software solutions to improve Neuron compiler performance, stability, and user interface.
• Collaborate with chip architects, runtime/OS engineers, scientists, and ML app teams to deploy cutting‑edge ML models on AWS accelerators with optimal cost/performance.
• Serve as the front‑face of the Neuron compiler in open‑source communities (e.g., StableHLO, OpenXLA, MLIR) and influence industry partners.
• Create compiler optimization and verification passes, build features that expose AWS accelerator capabilities to developers, and implement tools for numerical error analysis.
• Resolve compiler defects, participate in design discussions, conduct code reviews, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders through forums such as GitHub.
• Work in a startup‑like environment focused on the most important development work.
