Software Engineer, ML Compiler

Meta Reality Labs (RL) is the world leader in the design of virtual and augmented reality systems. Come work alongside expert engineers and research scientists to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.

We are seeking a research engineer to support the development of the compiler tool-chain for state-of-the-art deep learning hardware components optimized for AR/VR systems. The successful candidate will be part of our efforts to architect, design and implement a clean slate compiler for this activity and will be part of a team that includes compiler, machine learning algorithms and software, firmware and ASIC experts. The ideal candidate will contribute to a full stack development effort compiling PyTorch models down to binaries for hardware accelerator blocks.Software Engineer, ML Compiler Responsibilities

• Analyze and design effective compiler passes and optimizations. Implement and/or enhance code generation targeting machine learning accelerators.
• Work with algorithm research teams to map ML graphs to hardware implementations, model data-flows, create cost-benefit analysis and estimate silicon power and performance.
• Contribute to the development of machine-learning libraries, intermediate representations, export formats, and analysis tools.
• Conduct design and code reviews. Evaluate code performance, debug, diagnose and drive resolution of compiler and cross-disciplinary system issues.
• Analyze and improve the efficiency, scalability, and stability of our toolchains.
• Interface with other compiler-focused teams to evaluate and incorporate their innovations and vice versa.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years experience writing compilers or similar code optimization software.
• Experience in software design and programming experience in Python and/or C/C++ for development, debugging, testing and performance analysis.
• Experience crossing multi-disciplinary boundaries to drive optimal system solutions.
• Experience in AI framework development or accelerating deep learning models on hardware architectures.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in deep learning algorithms and techniques, e.g., convolutional neural networks, recurrent networks, etc.
• Experience of developing in a mainstream machine-learning framework, e.g. PyTorch, Tensorflow or Caffe.
• Experience working on and contributing to an active compiler toolchain codebase, such as LLVM, MLIR, GCC, MSVC, Glow.
• Experience with machine-code generation or compiler back-ends.
• Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment.
• Mentoring other engineers on improving the quality of engineering work in the broader team.
• Experience driving large efforts across multiple teams.
