About The Job
Google Cloud's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google Cloud's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. You will anticipate our customer needs and be empowered to act like an owner, take action and innovate. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
Our Core Machine Learning team's mission is to expand the possibilities of generative AI research and deployment. We do this by building libraries and tools that leverage the best of Alphabet and open-source technologies, centered around JAX.
As a founding member of the team, you'll be responsible for helping define our work and how we can most effectively empower the JAX community. While the team's work will be centered around JAX, scope can and should extend to any part of the stack where we can be useful.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
Responsibilities
- Work across the tech stack to improve LLM training and inference performance on GPU.
- Add new features and publish high-performance open-source kernels.
- Partner with the JAX team to design and implement new JAX features, and collaborate directly with JAX power users to solve tricky problems and enable new workloads.
- Create smooth inter-operations between JAX and PyTorch (e.g., for data loading, hybrid models, or portability).
- Implement and benchmark reference JAX models and techniques, also inform new JAX features and improvements.
