Manager, Deep Learning Algorithms - Training Framework

Nvidia•Santa Clara, CA

35d

About The Position

NVIDIA is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead engineering activities for our NeMo Framework team. NeMo Framework is an open-source, scalable and cloud-native framework built for researchers and developers working on Large Language Models (LLM) and Multimodal (MM) foundation model pretraining and post-training. Our GenAI Frameworks provide end-to-end model training, including pretraining, reasoning, alignment, customization, evaluation, deployment and tooling to optimize performance and user experience. In this critical role, you will manage a team to expand NeMo Framework's capabilities, enabling users to develop, train, and optimize models by designing and implementing the latest in distributed training algorithms, model parallel paradigms, model optimizations, defining robust APIs, meticulously analyzing and tuning performance, and expanding our toolkits and libraries to be more comprehensive and coherent. You will collaborate with internal partners, users, and members of the open source community to analyze, design, and implement highly optimized solutions.

Requirements

Excellent understanding of SDLC practices including architecting, testing, continuous integration, and documentation
MS, PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science, AI, Applied Math, or related field
8+ overall years of industry experience, including 3+ years of management experience.
Proven experience to lead and scale high-performing engineering teams, especially across distributed and functional groups.
Experience with AI Frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, JAX), and/or inference and deployment environments (e.g. TRTLLM, vLLM, SGLang).
Proficient in Python programming, software design, debugging, performance analysis, test design and documentation.
Consistent record of working effectively across multiple engineering initiatives and improving AI libraries with new innovations.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience in large-scale AI training, with a deep understanding of core compute system concepts (such as latency/throughput bottlenecks, pipelining, and multiprocessing) and demonstrated excellence in related performance analysis and tuning.

Prior experience with Generative AI techniques applied to LLM and Multi-Modal learning (Text, Image, and Video).
Knowledge of GPU/CPU architecture and related numerical software.
Created / contributed to open source deep learning frameworks.

Responsibilities

Plan, schedule, mentor, and lead the execution of projects and activities of the team.
Collaborate with internal customers to align priorities across business units.
Coordinate projects across different geographic locations.
Grow and develop a world-class team.
Contribute and advance open source NeMo Framework.
Solve large-scale, end-to-end AI training challenges, spanning the full model lifecycle from initial orchestration, data pre-processing, running of model training and tuning, to model deployment.
Work at the intersection of computer-architecture, libraries, frameworks, AI applications and the entire software stack.
Innovate and improve model architectures, distributed training algorithms, and model parallel paradigms.
