JOB DESCRIPTION:
Position: Senior Staff Engineer – PyTorch Accelerator
Client is seeking an experienced PyTorch maintainer to bring new AI accelerators to PyTorch and get that work accepted into the official upstream project.
Responsibilities:
- Upstream new hardware support to PyTorch: RFCs, pull requests, code reviews, issue triage, and ongoing maintenance.
- Work with PyTorch maintainers and working groups to align integration with PyTorch architecture, testing standards, and release requirements.
- Design and implement backend integration (PrivateUse1, dispatch keys, operator registration, memory management, streams/events, autograd), partnering with compiler, runtime, kernel, driver, and hardware teams.
- Improve ATen operators, torch.compile, distributed training, mixed precision, and profiling; build and maintain tests, CI workflows, and benchmarks for correctness and performance.
- Debug correctness, performance, memory, build, and compatibility issues across the PyTorch stack; write clear documentation and mentor other engineers.
- 5+ years of experience in open-source ecosystem development or related roles.
- Strong hands-on experience with PyTorch internals: ATen, the dispatcher, operator registration, autograd, tensor/device abstractions, and Python/C++ extensions.
- Strong C++ and Python skills, with a track record of contributing clean, well-tested code to large open-source projects (design discussions, code reviews, pull requests, CI debugging).
- Experience integrating ML frameworks with hardware accelerators, runtimes, compilers, kernels, or device drivers, and a good understanding of GPU/AI accelerator architecture (memory hierarchy, asynchronous execution, streams/events, profiling).
- Comfortable with PyTorch build/test workflows (Linux, CMake, GitHub, CI) and debugging across Python, C++, runtime, and hardware layers.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Recognized PyTorch contributor or maintainer, with changes accepted into the main project.
- Experience with PyTorch accelerator integration: PrivateUse1 backend development, OpenReg-style reference implementations, or out-of-tree backend maintenance.
- Experience with torch.compile (TorchDynamo, TorchInductor), MLIR/LLVM, Triton, or XLA, or optimizing large-scale LLM training (e.g. VeRL) and inference (e.g., vLLM, SGLang).
- Experience building benchmarking, profiling, and performance regression systems; familiarity with distributed backends such as NCCL, Client, HCCL, oneCCL, or custom ProcessGroup implementations.
- Experience working with hardware vendors or open-source foundations.
