Description
About OLIX
AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
The role
We’re searching for Staff Compiler Engineers to join the team building the ML backend (compiler, run-time, and debugger) for our next-generation Accelerator that connect PyTorch, Tensorflow, JAX, and MXNet down to our low-level kernel drivers.Your mission will be to create seamless support for a broad ecosystem of large AI models, and ensure we are pushing the limits of their performance envelope by closely partnering with hardware and modelling teams to understand device trade-offs.
