Senior Distributed ML Engineer

We are seeking a senior distributed machine learning (ML) research developer to join our team working on a novel AI safety agenda. In this role, you will work closely with ML research scientists to solve difficult training and inference problems using very large models.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with researchers to accelerate research, model training and inference, and facilitate the use of large-scale models in distributed computing environments.
• Investigate performance bottlenecks, profile research experiment code, debug reported issues, and optimize the utilization of computing resources.
• Develop tools and libraries to simplify and orchestrate the use of distributed computing resources for research experiments.
• Establish, document, and maintain best practices for large-scale, distributed ML model development workflows.

Skills and Qualifications

• A degree in a relevant computer science field (e.g., computer science, computer engineering, software engineering) is required. An advanced degree (master’s or PhD) related to machine learning or distributed ML systems is preferred but not required if the candidate demonstrates exceptional abilities and experience.
• 3+ years of experience in designing and implementing distributed ML training frameworks, with recent exper
