Role summary
Meta is seeking a Software Engineering Manager for its MTIA Software team to lead the development of its ML compiler stack for custom AI accelerators. This role involves defining how Triton and lower-level DSLs map to MTIA hardware, focusing on language extensions, optimizations, and the kernel authoring experience. The position requires driving compiler toolchain development, integrating ML compilers, and supporting various kernel types. The manager will build and mentor engineers, foster technical contributions, and collaborate with cross-functional teams, balancing short-term deployment needs with long-term compiler investments. The role offers significant executive visibility and involves open-source contributions.
Responsibilities
- You will drive the development of the DSL compiler toolchain, including ML compiler integration, GEMM and non-GEMM kernel enablement, collectives support, and next-generation low-level DSLs. You will lead teams of engineers and technical leaders delivering large-scale projects across compiler infrastructure, kernel libraries, and production deployment on multiple accelerator generations
- You will stay technically engaged, contributing hands-on through AI tools to evaluate the technical direction and quality across your teams. You will form trusted cross-functional partnerships with hardware/architecture, kernel, runtime, framework, and model teams while actively shaping strategy and roadmap, and you will balance near-term deployment commitments against long-term compiler investments. You will build and mentor engineers into AI-era leaders while maintaining high engineering craft standards
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in managing a software team in a fast-paced capacity
- Experience with compiler architecture and development, particularly with ML compilers or domain-specific languages (DSLs)
- Proven understanding and experience in executing full product life-cycles (prototyping, deployment, and support)
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working closely with hardware architectures such as SIMD, GPU, RISC-V, AI accelerators, and influencing architecture roadmaps
- Experience with Triton, MLIR, or LLVM compiler infrastructure
- Experience with open-source community engagement and upstream contributions
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience with PyTorch compiler stack internals such as Inductor
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Experience with different programming models for high-performance computations, e.g., GPU CUDA programming or OpenCL or OpenMP programming
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Experience with kernel-level performance optimization for AI accelerators
