What are the responsibilities and job description for the Machine Learning Engineer, AWS Neuron Inference, AWS Neuron position at Amazon?
Description
AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia and Trainium cloud-scale machine
learning accelerators and the Trn1 and Inf1 servers that use them. This role is for a software engineer in the Machine Learning Applications (ML Apps) team for AWS Neuron.
This role is responsible for development, enablement and performance tuning of a wide variety of ML model families, including massive scale large language models like Llama2, GPT2, GPT3 and beyond, as well as stable diffusion, Vision Transformers and many more.
The ML Apps team works side by side with compiler engineers and runtime engineers to create, build and tune distributed inference solutions with Trn1. Experience optimizing inference performance for both latency and throughput on these large models using Python, Pytorch or JAX is a must. Deepspeed and other distributed inference libraries are central to this and extending all of this for the Neuron based system is key.
Key job responsibilities
This role will help lead the efforts building distributed inference support into Pytorch, Tensorflow using XLA and the Neuron compiler and runtime stacks. This role will help tune these models to ensure highest performance and maximize the efficiency of them running on the customer AWS Trainium and Inferentia silicon and the TRn1 , Trn2 servers. Strong software development using Python/C and ML knowledge are both critical to this role.
