About the role

The role sits within Intel's Data Center Group (DCG), specifically the AI Software Architects team, which advances AI software solutions enabling Intel's AI accelerators and next-generation GPUs. The team works on Intel's cutting-edge AI frameworks software stack, focused on inference serving frameworks such as PyTorch, vLLM and SGLang, along with deep learning training and fine-tuning. This role will design, develop and optimize software features for AI frameworks, debug multi-layered software systems, contribute to open-source communities, and build technology demonstrators for current and upcoming GPUs.

What you will do

  • Design and develop software features for AI frameworks, including hardware-agnostic and hardware-aware capabilities.
  • Architect and analyze state-of-the-art features across frameworks to drive development throughout the software stack.
  • Enhance and extend deep learning training and inference capabilities within Intel's AI frameworks software stack.
  • Optimize software stack performance for deep learning workloads on GPUs and AI accelerators.
  • Participate in discussions and development within open-source communities, contributing to upstream adoption and integration.
  • Debug complex issues in multi-layered software systems and ensure seamless integration within large open-source frameworks.
  • Conduct performance analysis using open-source and proprietary profilers to optimize code efficiency on host and accelerator platforms.
  • Build technology demonstrators and proof-of-concepts for new features in the Intel AI Software Stack for current and upcoming GPUs
