Job Description:
The Software and AI (SAI) organization is seeking a highly skilled Software Development Engineer to contribute to the development and optimization of oneDNN, a complex, cross‑platform, open‑source performance library for deep learning applications (https://github.com/uxlfoundation/oneDNN).
oneDNN is a critical and highly visible component of Intel’s AI strategy, powering industry‑leading frameworks such as OpenVINO, TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, and many others.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI algorithms, low‑level performance engineering, and cutting‑edge Intel hardware, enabling state‑of‑the‑art neural network performance across CPUs, integrated graphics, and discrete GPUs.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and optimize new features and algorithms for oneDNN targeting Intel processors, Intel Processor Graphics, and Intel discrete GPUs.
- Perform performance analysis and optimization to achieve best‑in‑class deep‑learning inference and training throughput on current and next‑generation Intel platforms.
- Develop hardware‑specific parallel algorithms, including multithreading, vectorization, and memory‑layout optimizations.
- Contribute to assembly‑level programming and low-level performance tuning for Intel microarchitectures.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams across software engineering, architecture, and AI performance to ensure strong integration with Intel’s broader AI ecosystem.
- Engage with the open‑source community, participate in code reviews, and maintain high-quality coding and documentation standards.
Why Join Us
- Work on a global, high‑impact open‑source AI project used across leading deep‑learning frameworks.
- Influence AI performance across Intel’s full hardware roadmap, from CPUs to GPUs.
- Collaborate with top experts in deep learning, HPC, compilers, and systems optimization.
- Contribute to technology adopted by millions of developers worldwide.
- Engage with a highly visible open‑source product and the latest Intel hardware generations.
- Enjoy a safe, flexible, and supportive work environment—remote or onsite—focused on employee well‑being.
- Benefit from flexible working hours.
- Access a comprehensive benefits package: stock program, annual and quarterly bonuses, pension plan, medical and life insurance for you and your family, peer‑to‑peer recognition, meal card, Multisport card, holiday card, employee discounts, events, and more.
