About The Position

AWS Neuron is the complete software stack for the AWS Inferentia and Trainium
cloud-scale machine learning accelerators and the Trn1 and Inf1 servers that use
them.

As the Software Development Manager for the Tools Team, you will be responsible
for leading a talented team of engineers to develop and maintain
high-performance monitoring and profiling tools for machine learning
applications and AI accelerators. You will oversee the design, development, and
deployment of the Neuron Profiler and other Neuron Tools. The profiler plays a
crucial role to internal and external customers in optimizing AI workloads
across hardware platforms such as Trainium and Inferentia devices, by providing
deep insights into performance bottlenecks and system behavior.

In this role, you will manage the full development life cycle of the Neuron
Profiler/Tools toolchain, ensuring scalability, reliability, and usability. You
will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that the our C++ compiler
and runtime generates key information so customers can understand and optimize
the performance of our custom hardware. Additionally, you will drive innovations
that allow the profiler to support multiple frameworks, such as PyTorch,
TensorFlow, and XLA.

A successful candidate will have an established background in building AI/ML and
performance analysis tools. Experience with ML-specific profiler tools (like
PyTorch Profiler or TensorFlow Profiler) is highly desirable, along with along
with direct customer-facing experience and a strong motivation to achieve
results.

You will work with the executive leadership and other senior management and
technical leaders to define product directions and deliver them to customers. We
build massive-scale distributed training and inference solutions. This
organization builds the full stack of software, servers and chips to accelerate
at the highest scale.
