Job description

Description

The Annapurna Labs team at Amazon Web Services (AWS) builds AWS Neuron, the software development kit used to accelerate deep learning and GenAI workloads on AWS Trainium, Amazon's custom machine learning accelerator. Neuron includes an ML compiler, runtime, collectives library, and application framework that integrate with PyTorch and JAX, so customers can train frontier-scale models on Trainium without rewriting their stack.

Key job responsibilities

Your role will help lead the effort to optimize distributed training performance on Trainium, with a primary focus on training throughput across the Neuron software stack. You will work across PyTorch and Neuron software stack with amazing Neuron compiler and runtime teams to enable and tune large-scale training workloads on the latest Trainium instances. You will own the parallelism strategies these models depend on, spanning data, tensor, pipeline, expert, and context parallelism, and apply reduced-precision formats where they measurably pay off. You will profile end to end to determine whether a workload is bound by compute, memory, collectives, or host overhead, then drive the fix to the layer that owns it, working with compiler, runtime, and collectives engineers to land it. You will translate the performance gaps you characterize into requirements that influence frameworks, and contribute upstream to the open source frameworks our customers train on.
