  • Work closely with research teams to design and operate large-scale training runs for foundation models.
  • Develop infrastructure that enables efficient training across thousands of GPUs using modern distributed training frameworks.
  • Optimize training throughput, stability, and efficiency for large model training workloads.
  • Collaborate directly with pre-training researchers to translate experimental ideas into scalable, production-ready training systems.
  • Improve performance of distributed training workloads through optimization of communication, memory usage, and GPU utilization.
  • Build and maintain training pipelines that support large-scale datasets, checkpointing, and experiment iteration.
  • Debug and resolve performance bottlenecks across distributed training stacks including model parallelism, GPU communication, and training runtime systems.
  • Contribute to the development of systems that enable rapid experimentation and iteration on new training techniques.

Ideal Experience

  • Experience building or operating distributed training systems for large machine learning models.
  • Strong experience working with modern distributed training frameworks such as Megatron, DeepSpeed, or similar large-scale training systems.
  • Familiarity with large-scale model parallelism strategies (data, tensor, pipeline, or expert parallelism).
  • Experience optimizing training throughput and GPU utilization in large distributed environments.
  • Familiarity with GPU communication libraries such as NCCL and performance tuning for distributed workloads.
  • Experience working closely with ML researchers to productionize experimental training workflows.
  • Strong debugging skills across GPU compute, distributed training systems, and large-scale ML pipelines
  • Experience working with large datasets and training pipelines used for foundation model pre-training.
