Join us to be a part of the AI revolution!

The Team:

Our team plays a pivotal role in enhancing the capabilities and efficiency of our advanced AI systems. We design solutions that enable our machine learning models to scale seamlessly and perform optimally in real-world applications and large scale research. Collaborating across InstaDeep, we directly impact projects in diverse fields including Life Sciences, Logistics, Chip Design, and Quantum ML.

The Role:

We seek a highly skilled Machine Learning Engineer with a passion for tackling the challenges of large-scale ML development. You'll play a vital role in making our ambitious AI solutions a practical reality. If you thrive on system-level analysis, find joy in squeezing every ounce of performance from hardware, and love diving deep into algorithm optimisation, this is the position for you.

Responsibilities

  • Scaling Expertise: Design and implement strategies to efficiently scale machine learning models across diverse hardware platforms (GPU/TPU).
  • Performance Optimisation: Analyse and profile ML systems under heavy load, pinpointing bottlenecks, and implementing targeted optimisations.
  • Distributed Systems Architecture: Create robust distributed training and inference solutions for maximum computational efficiency.
  • Algorithmic Optimisation: Research and understand the latest deep learning literature to implement and optimise state-of-the-art algorithms and architectures, ensuring compute efficiency and performance.
  • Low-Level Mastery: Write high-quality Python, C/C++, XLA, Pallas, Triton, and/or CUDA code to achieve performance breakthroughs.

Required Skills

  • Understanding of Linux systems, performance analysis tools, and hardware optimisation techniques
  • Experience with distributed training frameworks (Ray, Dask, PyTorch Lightning, etc.)
  • Expertise with Python and/or C/C++
  • Development with machine learning frameworks (JAX, Tensorflow, PyTorch etc.)
  • Passion for profiling, identifying bottlenecks, and delivering efficient solutions.

Highly Desirable

  • Track record of successfully scaling ML models.
  • Experience writing custom CUDA kernels or XLA operations.
  • Understanding of GPU/TPU architectures and their implications for efficient ML systems.
  • Fundamentals of modern Deep Learning
  • Actively following ML trends and a desire to push boundaries.

Example Projects:

  • Profile algorithm traces, identifying opportunities for custom XLA operations and CUDA kernel development.
  • Implement and apply SOTA architectures (MAMBA, Griffin, Hyena) to research and applied projects.
  • Adapt algorithms for large-scale distributed architectures across HPC clusters.
  • Employ memory-efficient techniques within models for increased parameter counts and longer context lengths.

What We Offer:

  • Real-World Impact: Directly contribute to the performance and reach of our AI solutions.
  • Cutting-Edge Challenges: Tackle complex problems at the forefront of machine learning and large-scale system design.
  • Growth-Oriented Environment: Expand your expertise in a team of talented engineers dedicated to advancing ML scalability.
