Hybrid Working Required – 3 Days On, 2 days Remote

Our client are a UK based AI start-up.

Brief

Designing and developing the software systems that enable us to run machine learning (ML) inference workloads at state of the art latencies and efficiency on FPGA-based hardware accelerators. Working throughout the stack to define the ways we program AI accelerators, from co-designing the instruction sets together with the hardware engineering team, to developing the compilers and application APIs to interface the accelerator with ML models and frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Programming our bespoke hardware accelerators by writing compilers and DSLs
• Creating tools for debugging, profiling, and optimising programs for our accelerators
• Developing efficient applications and runtime libraries for server CPUs that utilise our accelerators

Key Requirements

• PhD or MSc in related field
