Job description

Software Development Manager, Neuron Tools, Annapurna Labs

AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia and Trainium cloud-scale machine learning accelerators and the Trn1 and Inf1 servers that use them.

As the Software Development Manager for the Tools Team, you will be responsible for leading a talented team of engineers to develop and maintain high-performance monitoring and profiling tools for machine learning applications and AI accelerators. You will oversee the design, development, and deployment of the Neuron Profiler and other Neuron Tools. The profiler plays a crucial role to internal and external customers in optimizing AI workloads across hardware platforms such as Trainium and Inferentia devices, by providing deep insights into performance bottlenecks and system behavior.

In this role, you will manage the full development life cycle of the Neuron Profiler/Tools toolchain, ensuring scalability, reliability, and usability. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that our C++ compiler and runtime generates key information so customers can understand and optimize the performance of our custom hardware. Additionally, you will drive innovations that allow the profiler to support multiple frameworks, such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and XLA.

A successful candidate will have an established background in building AI/ML and performance analysis tools. Experience with ML-specific profiler tools (like PyTorch Profiler or TensorFlow Profiler) is highly desirable, along with direct customer-facing experience and a strong motivation to achieve results.

A day in the life
You will work with the executive leadership and other senior management and technical leaders to define product directions and deliver them to customers. We build massive-scale distributed training and inference solutions. This organization builds the full stack of software, servers and chips to accelerate at the highest scale.

About the team
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded professional and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
