Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 8/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/20/2026
Description

The Product: AWS Machine Learning accelerators are at the forefront of AWS innovation. Trainium delivers best-in-class ML training performance with the most teraflops (TFLOPS) of compute power for ML in the cloud. This is all enabled by the AWS Neuron Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes an ML compiler, the Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) compiler, and a runtime that natively integrates into popular ML frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX.

Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) is a bare-metal language and compiler for directly programming NeuronDevices available on AWS Trainium instances. You can use NKI to develop, optimize, and run new operators directly on NeuronCores while making full use of available compute and memory resources.

AWS Neuron is used at scale by customers such as Epic Games, Snap, Airbnb, Autodesk, Amazon Alexa, and Amazon Rekognition, along with many others across a range of segments.

The Team: The Amazon Annapurna Labs team is responsible for building innovative silicon and software for AWS customers. We are at the forefront of innovation, combining cloud scale with the world's most talented engineers. Our team covers multiple disciplines including silicon engineering, hardware design and verification, software, and operations. With such breadth of talent, there is opportunity to learn all of the time. We operate in spaces that are very large, yet our teams remain small and agile. There is no blueprint. We're inventing. We're experimenting. When you couple that with the ability to work on so many different products and services, it makes for a unique learning culture.

You will leverage your technical communication skills as a hands-on partner to AWS ML teams. A background in machine learning and AI accelerators is preferred, but not required.
