• Research, design, develop and test comprehensive AI Compiler strategy that delivers a highly flexible platform to train & serve massive social data and prediction DL/ML models.
• Contribute to the industry-leading PyTorch AI framework core compilers to support new state of the art inference and training AI hardware accelerators and optimize their performance.
• Have industry experience working on a range of ranking, classification, recommendation, and optimization problems, e.g. click-through or conversion rate prediction, ads/feed/search ranking, text/sentiment classification or collaborative filtering/recommendation.
• Suggest, collect, analyze and synthesize bottlenecks within DL/ML models.
• Identify optimization candidates in DL/ML model graph to accelerate the inference and training process.
• Adapt standard machine learning methods to best exploit modern parallel environments, including distributed clusters, GPUs and custom AI accelerators.
• Develop, generalize and optimize the E2E compiler stack for Meta’s custom domain-specific language (DSL) for AI accelerators.
• Author high-performance kernels with Meta’s custom domain-specific language to support more PyTorch operators used in the next generation of DL models.
• Analyze the graph representation of deep learning models to identify possible optimization candidates.
• Develop and apply kernel fusion techniques and memory optimization algorithms accordingly.
• Collaborate with engineers from the hardware team and AI research scientists to onboard the next generation of DL/ML models, such as Recommendation systems, Generative AI and Computer vision models, onto Meta’s custom AI accelerators.
