Software Engineer, Systems Machine Learning

Meta; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 122,000 - 181,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta is seeking a Software Engineer to join the MTIA Software Tooling team, which builds the tooling ecosystem for Meta's in-house AI accelerator. You will design, build, and maintain developer tools that help engineers debug, profile, measure, and monitor AI workloads running on MTIA hardware at scale.

You will collaborate with the MTIA compiler, runtime, kernel, and hardware teams to integrate tooling hooks, own features end-to-end, and improve developer productivity across the MTIA ecosystem.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of experience in software engineering, with exposure to systems software, developer tooling, or infrastructure.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python, including systems-level programming concepts.
• Experience across multiple layers of a system stack (application, runtime, OS/driver, or hardware interfaces).
• Track record of independently delivering software projects from design through production deployment.
• Experience debugging and resolving issues in complex software systems (e.g., log analysis, stack traces).

Responsibilities

• Design and develop software tools across the MTIA tooling ecosystem, including debugging, profiling, performance analysis, memory analysis, and monitoring infrastructure.
• Own features and components end-to-end, from design through implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Build and improve tooling infrastructure that enables engineers to efficiently develop, test, and optimize AI workloads on MTIA hardware.
• Collaborate with the MTIA compiler, runtime, kernel, and hardware teams to integrate tooling hooks and support new platform capabilities.
• Proactively identify gaps in the tooling ecosystem and propose solutions to improve developer productivity.
• Contribute to technical design discussions, write design documents for medium-scope projects, and participate in code reviews.
• Partner with internal product teams across advertising, recommendations, and generative AI to understand developer pain points and improve tool usability.
