📋 Description
• Research and develop techniques to optimize inference performance for large neural networks. • Improve latency, throughput, memory efficiency, and cost per inference. • Design and evaluate model-level optimizations (quantization, pruning, KV-cache optimization, architecture-aware simplifications). • Implement systems-level optimizations (dynamic batching, kernel fusion, multi-GPU inference, prefill vs decode optimization). • Benchmark inference workloads across hardware accelerators. • Collaborate with engineering teams to deploy optimized inference pipelines. • Translate research insights into production-ready improvements.
🎯 Requirements
• Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, or AI systems. • Hands-on experience optimizing inference for large-scale models. • Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch). • Experience with inference tooling (e.g., Triton, TensorRT, vLLM, ONNX Runtime). • Ability to design experiments and communicate results clearly.
🏖️ Benefits
• Health insurance • Flexible work arrangements • Professional development opportunities
