Successful candidates must be able to commit to an onboarding date by end of year 2027. Please state your availability and graduation date clearly in your resume.

Team Introduction:
AML-Ark combines system engineering and the art of machine learning to develop and maintain massively distributed ML training and Inference system/services around the world, providing high-performance, highly reliable, scalable systems for LLM/AIGC/AGI.

Topic Content:
With the evolution from large language models (LLMs) to AI Agents, the training paradigm is undergoing a fundamental shift. Traditional distributed training frameworks like Megatron-LM are designed around relatively static parallelism strategies, whereas Agent training introduces more dynamic patterns, including external tool interactions, multi-step reasoning, and iterative self-improvement.

In this context, tightly coupled system design can limit flexibility and efficiency. To better support these emerging workloads, we aim to build a robust architecture that cleanly separates “logical control” from “compute execution,” enabling more scalable and adaptable training workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for developing and optimizing LLM training & inference & Reinforcement Learning framework.
• Working closely with model researchers to scale LLM training & Reinforcement Learning to the next level.
• Responsible for GPU and CUDA Performance optimization to create an industry-leading high-performance LLM training and inference and RL engine.

Requirements:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a PhD in computer science, automation, electronics engineering or a related technical discipline
• Proficient in algorithms and data structures, familiar with Python
• Understand the basic principles of deep learning algorithms, be familiar with the basic architecture of neural networks and understand deep learning training frameworks such as Pytorch.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficient in GPU high-performance computing optimization technology on CUDA, in-depth understanding of computer architecture, familiar with parallel computing optimization, memory access optimization, low-bit computing, etc.
• Familiar with FSDP, Deepspeed, JAX SPMD, Megatron-LM, Verl, TensorRT-LLM, ORCA, VLLM, SGLang, etc.
• Knowledge of LLM models, experience in accelerating LLM model optimization is preferred.
