Sr Software Engineer, Neuron
Job ID: 2696023 | Amazon.com Services LLC
DESCRIPTION
AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia and Trainium cloud-scale machine
learning accelerators and the Trn1 and Inf2 servers that use them. This role is for a software engineer in the Inference team for AWS Neuron.
This role is responsible for development, enablement and performance optimization (latency, throughput) of a wide variety of ML model families, including massive scale large language models like Llama3, DBRX, Stable Diffusion, Vision Transformers and many more.
The Neuron Inference team works side by side with compiler and runtime engineers to create, build and tune distributed inference solutions with Trn1/Inf2. Experience optimizing inference performance for both latency and throughput on these large models using PyTorch or JAX is a must. Experience with technologies/tools such as vLLM, Hugging Face, multi-modal inference, etc. is highly valued.
*Utility Computing (UC)*
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
**Why AWS
**Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
**Diverse Experiences**
Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
**Work/Life Balance* *
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
**Inclusive Team Culture* *
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Key job responsibilities
This role will help lead the efforts building distributed inference support into Pytorch, Tensorflow using XLA and the Neuron compiler and runtime stacks. This role will help tune these models to ensure highest performance and maximize the efficiency of them running on the AWS Trainium and Inferentia silicon. Strong software development using C++/Python and ML knowledge are both critical to this role.
A day in the life
As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:
Build high-impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.
