About the Team
The architecture team is responsible for advancing the neural network architecture of OpenAI’s flagship models. The work we do has tremendous leverage and spans the full process of architecture research and deployment, starting with the development of scientific methodologies to study new areas of capability, building deep intuitions about the mathematical structure of our models, evaluating promising ideas from the literature and developing novel techniques, understanding implications for systems and optimization, implementing new techniques both in the course of our research to run experiments and working with platform teams to integrate successful advances into our stacks for efficient large scale distributed training and inference. Due to the nature of our work, our team has broad expertise both on both the science and engineering that goes into the world’s most powerful AI systems and we collaborate extensively with many teams across the company.
About the Role
As a AI Systems Engineer you will work cross functionally to bridge research and platform teams. One of our main bottlenecks is the engineering work and coordination with platform teams that is required to take new research advances and integrate them fully into our highly optimized training and inference stacks. We are looking for senior engineers who can work with our researchers to understand new advances, work with our platform teams to gain deep understanding of our distributed training systems and inference stack, spearhead the deployment of new advances by implementing them efficiently in our frameworks for model training and inference and interfacing with the teams building those frameworks, and provide mentorship to up level other team members on engineering skills.
You might thrive in this role if you:
have experience with various forms of model parallelism
any kind of low-level GPU performance work
experience with thinking about low-level scheduling of compute and comms
having a good mental model for GPUs in general
