Principal Developer Advocate – AWS Trainium, Trainium

Do you love getting hands on with ML hardware acceleration and sharing your passion for open‑source AI with the broader developer community? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Principal Developer Advocate to join the Annapurna Labs team. AWS Machine Learning accelerators are at the forefront of AWS innovation. The Inferentia chip delivers best‑in‑class ML inference performance at the lowest cost in cloud.

Trainium will deliver the best‑in‑class ML training performance with the most teraflops of compute power for ML in the cloud. All of this is enabled by our software stack, the AWS Neuron Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes an ML compiler, runtime and natively integrates into popular ML frameworks including PyTorch.

In this role, you will be the external face of AWS in ML hardware acceleration, combining deep technical expertise, strategic vision, and authentic community engagement to drive awareness, trust, and adoption of Trainium and the Neuron SDK across the global ML developer ecosystem. Ideally, you come from a software engineering, ML research, or systems performance background – but you love being on stage, on screen, or in the open‑source community guiding developers toward technologies you believe in.

You have immediate credibility with ML practitioners, researchers, and performance engineers. You are excited about open‑source AI, hardware‑software co‑design, and the future of ML infrastructure. You exhibit strong judgment in selecting strategic opportunities and can operate with full independence across multiple technical communities.

• Creating and maintaining relevant content (demos, videos, blogs, podcasts, live streams, etc.), covering AWS Trainium and the Neuron SDK along with emerging technologies and industry developments.
• Gaining industry recognition and credibility as a regular attendee and speaker at third‑party technology conferences, shows and press events.
• Curating, developing and delivering compelling presentations to help drive awareness and adoption of AWS Trainium.
• Maintaining a credible presence in social media.
• Ability to travel (including internationally when needed) and ability to work autonomously.

As a technical champion, you'll create and deliver content that makes Trainium and the Neuron SDK accessible, credible, and compelling to ML developers worldwide – from getting‑started tutorials to deep‑dive kernel optimization guides. As a community builder, you'll engage with ML practitioners, researchers, and performance engineers to understand their challenges, represent their voice internally, and translate community insights into product roadmap impact.

As an ecosystem strategist, you'll build long‑term partnerships with key open‑source projects and communities, co‑develop integrations, and ensure Trainium is a visible and credible option wherever ML developers make hardware decisions.

• Experience conveying complex technical concepts to both technical and business audiences.
• Experience developing technology solutions and evangelising end‑to‑end technology roadmaps that guide IT transformations toward cloud computing.
• Experience communicating complex ideas to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, ML research, systems performance, or a related technical field.
• Experience with machine learning frameworks, tools, or infrastructure.
• Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple initiatives across different technical communities.
• Experience creating and delivering presentations, workshops, or demonstrations to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Proficiency with at least one major programming language or technology platform.

• Experience speaking at industry conferences, user groups, or other public forums.
• Background in software development, cloud architecture, or enterprise technology solutions.
• Familiarity with content creation tools and platforms, including video production and social media.
