Description For Staff Software Engineer, Machine Learning Performance

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day.

The TPU Performance team is responsible for performance and extracting maximum efficiency for AI/ML training workloads. We drive Google Machine Learning performance using deep fleet-scale, benchmark analysis, and out of the box auto-optimizations. We focus on performance analysis to identify performance opportunities in Google production, research Machine Learning (ML) workloads, and land optimizations to the entire fleet. Our work demonstrates Machine Learning performance on the large-scale and latest accelerators at Machine Learning Performance. We push efficiency on multipod Machine Learning models.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization's ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Focus on Large Language Models (Google Deepmind Gemini, Bard, Search Magi, Cloud LLM APIs), performance analysis, and optimizations.
  • Identify and maintain Large Language Model (LLM) training and serving benchmarks that are representative to Google production, industry and Machine Learning community.
  • Engage with Google Product teams to solve their LLM performance problems.
  • Explore model/data efficiency techniques to solve ML tasks more efficiently.
