Job description

We’re looking for best in class engineers to join our existing top-notch team. When you join Untether AI, you will be part of a team that designs, develops and verifies the software that interacts with our chip, collaborating with our hardware engineers and with fellow software engineers in the process. By creating software that fully realizes the capabilities of the hardware, you will help get AI inference to the general populace.

As part of this exceptional team, you are able to - and get excited by - identifying functional/performance bottlenecks and how to alleviate them in order to achieve scalable and reliable software. You excel in an environment with complex software and hardware designs.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Deep Learning Engineer to join our Neural Networks team. The main objective of our team is to make it as seamless as possible for researchers and developers to successfully deploy neural networks to run on our hardware. You will be building tools for our customers to ingest, optimize, and quantize their networks. You will be working with deep learning frameworks at a deep level, modifying and extending backend functionality, and supporting the development of the SDK to produce highly optimized, accurate networks running on our chip. If you want to be working at the bleeding edge of AI, this role is for you!

Requirements

• Computer Science, Engineering or related degree
• 5+ years experience, with a healthy amount of both deep learning and software engineering (2+ years each)
• Experience with one or more deep learning frameworks (preferably PyTorch and/or ONNX)
• Experience working with one or more of the following: CNNs, LSTMs/RNNs, Transformers
• Experience reproducing academic work from the field of AI
• Strong math background
• Strong Python skills
• Experience with C/C++ a plus

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• Embedded or low-level programming experience
• CUDA/OpenGL experience
• Experience deploying neural networks to production
• Experience with model compression techniques such as quantization, quantization-aware training, knowledge distillation, pruning, etc.

General Skills

• Enthusiastic about all things AI
• Passionate about solving hard problems and pushing the envelope of what is possible
• Comfortable with both big picture thinking and in-the-weeds deep dives
• Driven, organized and self-directed
• Ability to build projects from the ground up
• Comfortable working within a rapidly evolving project
• Strong focus on testing and software quality
• Team focus and desire to help build the team
