Research Scientist Intern, Systems ML - Frameworks / Compilers / Kernels (PhD) at Meta in Menlo Park, California

Job Description:

You will be a member of the Triton Accel team and part of the bigger industry-leading PyTorch AI framework organization. Triton is a breakthrough Python-based language and compiler for authoring performant kernels for AI Accelerators such as GPUs.Our team works on all aspects of Triton - compiler optimizations (architecture-independent and dependent), performance and debug tooling, authoring performant kernels, and more. Our emphasis is OSS, but we also work with internal product teams.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Research Scientist Intern, Systems ML - Frameworks / Compilers / Kernels (PhD) Responsibilities:

• Work with Meta researchers to advance the state-of-the-art in ML Compiler space, with an emphasis on Triton/Triton-like specification languages (EXO, Pallas, Mosaic are examples of the latter).


• Publish these results at top conferences, and use this experience to create and socialize a research program for the ML Compiler space.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience


• Python and C/C++ programming skills

• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Research experience in AI Compilers and/or AI Accelerators


• Experience working with kernel-writing frameworks like Triton, or CUDA or AI Compiler: compiler optimizations such as loop optimizations, vectorization, parallelization, hardware specific optimizations such as SIMD. Experience with MLIR, LLVM, IREE, XLA, TVM, Halide is a plus


• Experience working in the compiler and/or computer architecture space


• Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers at top computer vision, computer graphics or machine learning related conferences such as: ASPLOS, PLDI, ICSE, ISCA, HPCA, Micro, MLSys, SC, ICCAD, DAC, STOC, FOCS, SPAA


• Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op
