Software Engineer, SystemML - AI Networking

In this role, you will be a member of the AI Networking Software team and part of the bigger DC networking organization. The team develops and owns the software stack around NCCL (NVIDIA Collective Communications Library), which enables multi-GPU and multi-node data communication through HPC-style collectives. NCCL has been integrated into Py Torch and is on the critical path of multi-GPU distributed training. In other words, nearly every distributed GPU-based ML workload in Meta Production goes through the software stack the team owns.
At the high level, the team aims to enable Meta-wide ML products and innovations to leverage our large-scale GPU training and inference fleet through an observable, reliable and high-performance distributed AI/GPU communication stack. Currently, one of the team’s focus is on building customized features, software benchmarks, performance tuners and software stacks around NCCL and Py Torch to improve the full-stack distributed ML reliability and performance (e.g. Large-Scale GenAI/LLM training) from the trainer down to the inter-GPU and network communication layer. And we are seeking engineers to work on the space of GenAI/LLM scaling reliability and performance.
