Overview
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Frameworks team at Microsoft develops the AI software used to train and deploy the world’s most advanced AI models. We collaborate with our hardware teams and partners to build the software stacks for Microsoft’s next-generation supercomputers and the new Maia-300 AI accelerator. We work closely with ML researchers and developers to optimize and scale out model training and inference.
The team operates at the intersection of AI algorithmic innovation, purpose-built AI hardware, systems, and software. We are a cross-disciplined team of highly capable and motivated people with a collaborative and inclusive culture. We collaborate with hardware design team and build system software stack and developer tools (debugger, profiler, simulator) for the novel AI accelerator.
As a member of this team, you will have the opportunity to work on the system software, developer tools and experience to enable large scale training and inferencing of models on novel AI hardware.
It requires hands-on software design and development skills. We’re looking for someone who has a demonstrated history of solving hard technical problems and is motivated to tackle the hardest problems in building a full end-to-end AI stack. An entrepreneurial approach and ability to take initiative and move fast are essential
