You will oversee the design, development, and deployment of the Neuron Profiler and other Neuron Tools. The profiler plays a crucial role to internal and external customers in optimizing AI workloads across hardware platforms such as Trainium and Inferentia devices, by providing deep insights into performance bottlenecks and system behavior.

In this role, you will manage the full development life cycle of the Neuron Profiler/Tools toolchain, ensuring scalability, reliability, and usability. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that the our C++ compiler and runtime generates key information so customers can understand and optimize the performance of our custom hardware. Additionally, you will drive innovations that allow the profiler to support multiple frameworks, such as PyTorch, Tensor Flow, and XLA.

A successful candidate will have an established background in building AI/ML and performance analysis tools.

Experience with ML-specific profiler tools (like PyTorch Profiler or Tensor Flow Profiler) is highly desirable, along with along with direct customer-facing experience and a strong motivation to achieve results.
