Annapurna Labs, considered as secret sauce behind the success of AWS, is responsible for silicon development.

The Product: AWS Machine Learning accelerators are at the forefront of AWS innovation and one of several AWS tools used for building Generative AI on AWS. The Inferentia chip delivers best-in-class ML inference performance at the lowest cost in cloud. Trainium delivers the best-in-class ML training performance with the most teraflops (TFLOPS) of compute power for ML in the cloud. This is all enabled by cutting edge software stack, the AWS Neuron Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes an ML compiler, runtime and natively integrates into popular ML frameworks, such as PyTorch, TensorFlow and JAX. AWS Neuron is used at scale with customers both internal and external.

The Team: The Neuron Compiler team is developing a deep learning compiler stack that takes state of the art LLM and Vision models created in frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX, and makes them run performantly on our accelerators. The team is comprised of some of the brightest minds in the engineering, research, and product communities, focused on the ambitious goal of creating a toolchain that will provide a quantum leap in performance.

You: As a Machine Learning Compiler Engineer II in the AWS Neuron Compiler team, you will be supporting the ground-up development and scaling of a compiler to handle the world's largest ML workloads. Architecting and implementing business-critical features, publish cutting-edge research, and contributing to a brilliant team of experienced engineers excites and challenges you. You will leverage your technical communications skill as a hands-on partner to AWS ML services teams and you will be involved in pre-silicon design, bringing new products/features to market, and many other exciting projects.

A background in compiler development is strongly preferred. A background in Machine Learning and AI accelerators is preferred, but not required.
