HEARTLAND BUSINESS SYSTEMS LLC
True Talent Solutions Partners
Member of Technical Staff, ML Systems
About the Role
Join an AI/ML team building high-performance training and inference systems for image, video, and world-model workloads. You will improve speed and efficiency across GPU kernels, distributed execution, and multi-node serving.
What You'll Do
- Optimize training and inference performance for image, video, and world-model workloads.
- Use Nsight and related tools to identify bottlenecks across kernels, memory, systems, and clusters.
- Implement low-level GPU optimizations with CUDA and Triton.
- Design and improve distributed training and inference engines for diffusion models.
- Improve communication performance across GPUs and nodes using NCCL, RDMA, InfiniBand, or RoCE.
- Build benchmarks and regression tests to ensure performance improvements hold in production.
- Co-design kernels, runtimes, and models with hardware characteristics in mind.
What We're Looking For
- At least 2 years of experience in deep learning training or inference systems, distributed systems, or related ML systems work.
- At least 1 year of hands-on ML systems or GPU performance experience in a current or recent role.
- Experience authoring core features in an inference or training framework, such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, or Megatron.
- Hands-on experience writing CUDA, CUTLASS, Triton, or PTX kernels for NVIDIA GPUs.
- Strong machine learning and computer science fundamentals, with a degree in computer science or a related quantitative field.
- Experience optimizing inference or training performance, including GPU kernels, runtimes, or distributed execution.
- Experience with diffusion, video, image, or other multimodal workloads is valuable.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary: $180,000 to $230,000 annually.
- Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
On-site in Menlo Park, California, United States.
