About the Role

We are seeking an engineer with expertise in low-level systems programming and optimization to enhance the performance of our machine learning models, focusing on both training and inference within our dynamic trading environment.

Responsibilities

  • Optimize the performance of ML models for training and inference.
  • Improve CUDA performance.
  • Apply a whole-systems approach to optimization, considering storage, networking, and host/GPU levels.
  • Analyze and ensure the efficiency of throughput and actual useful output (goodput).
  • Investigate low-level performance details, such as cache latency.

Requirements

  • Experience in low-level systems programming and optimization.
  • Systems knowledge to debug end-to-end performance of training runs.
  • Background in Infiniband, RoCE, GPUDirect, PXN, rail optimization, and NVLink.
  • Understanding of collective algorithms for distributed GPU training in NCCL or MPI.
  • An inventive approach and willingness to question existing methods and tools.
  • Fluency in English.

Skills

  • Modern ML techniques and toolsets
  • Low-level GPU knowledge (PTX, SASS, warps, cooperative groups, Tensor Cores, memory hierarchy)
  • Debugging and optimization using tools like CUDA GDB, NSight Systems, NSight Compute
  • Library knowledge of Triton, CUTLASS, CUB, Thrust, cuDNN, cuBLAS
  • Intuition about latency and throughput characteristics of CUDA graph launch, tensor core arithmetic, warp-level synchronization, and asynchronous memory loads
