Senior Software Engineer, ML Compiler, TPU
Role summary
Google Cloud is seeking Senior Software Engineers specializing in ML Compilers for TPUs. This role involves developing next-generation technologies for large-scale systems, focusing on compiler parallelization, optimization techniques, and hardware accelerator programming. Engineers will contribute to ML infrastructure, analyze TPU architectures for optimal scaling, and build debugging tools. The position requires a strong background in software development, particularly with Python and C++, and experience with ML execution frameworks or hardware accelerators. Preferred qualifications include expertise in low-level systems programming, compiler optimization, and hardware architecture.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages, including Python and C++.
- 3 years of experience with Machine Learning infrastructure, ML execution frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, JAX, PyTorch), or hardware accelerators (e.g., TPUs, GPUs).
- 2 years of experience in a low level systems programming language (e.g., C++).
- Experience in performance and compilers.
Preferred qualifications:
- 3 years of experience in low level ML accelerator programming, compiler or other close to hardware performance programming.
- Experience in profiling workloads, identifying and introducing performance optimization.
- Experience in high-performance and readable c++.
- Experience in hardware design and hardware architecture.
- Working knowledge of machine learning compilers (e.g., XLA or MLIR) and experience co-designing hardware-aware optimizations to accelerate model execution.
