Job Summary
About the Team
Our Inference team brings OpenAIs most capable research and technology to the world through our products. We empower consumers enterprise and developers alike to use and access our start-of-the-art AI models allowing them to do things that theyve never been able to before. We focus on performant and efficient model inference as well as accelerating research progression via model inference.
About the Role
We are looking for an engineering leader who wants to build and lead the worlds leading AI systems and modeling engineers who take the worlds largest and most capable AI models and optimize them for use in a high-volume low-latency and high-availability production and research environment.
In this role you will:
Lead a team of engineers who are experts in working with distributed systems with a deep understanding of model architecture system co-design with research and production team
Work alongside partners in machine learning researchers engineers and product managers to bring our latest technologies into production.
Work in an outcome-oriented environment where everyone contributes across layers of the stack from infra plumbing to performance tuning.
Introduce new techniques tools and architecture that improve the performance latency throughput and efficiency of our model inference stack.
Build tools to give us visibility into our bottlenecks and sources of instability and then design and implement solutions to address the highest priority issues.
Optimize our code and fleet of GPUs to utilize every FLOP and every GB of GPU RAM of our hardware.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have an understanding of modern ML architectures and an intuition for how to optimize their performance particularly for inference.
Own problems end-to-end and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge youre missing to get the job done.
