Meta's AI Training and Inference Infrastructure is growing exponentially to support ever increasing use cases of AI. This results in a dramatic scaling challenge that our engineers have to deal with on a daily basis. We need to build and evolve our network infrastructure that connects myriads of training accelerators like GPUs together. In addition, we need to ensure that the network is running smoothly and meets stringent performance and availability requirements of RDMA workloads. These workloads expect a loss-less fabric interconnect with minimal latency. To improve performance of these systems we constantly look for opportunities across stack: network fabric and host networking, comms lib and scheduling infrastructure.AI/HPC Systems Performance Engineer Responsibilities

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams to develop solutions for large scale training systems. Assess trade-offs of various solutions and make pragmatic decisions.
• Ensure timely milestone delivery with teamwork and close collaboration
• Responsible for the overall performance of the communication system, including performance benchmarking, monitoring and troubleshooting production issues.
• Defining technical vision and driving a multi-year roadmap to make progress towards the related objectives.
• Work with cross functional teams and provide guidance on the AI network architecture including topologies, transport, congestion control techniques.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with developing, evaluating and debugging host networking protocols such as RDMA.
• 10+ years of experience in designing, deploying and operating networks.
• Experience with triaging performance issues in complex scale-out distributed applications.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with developing communication libraries, such as MPI, NCCL, and UCX.
• Understanding of AI training workloads and demands they exert on networks.
• Understanding of RDMA congestion control mechanisms on IB and RoCE Networks.
• Understanding of the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
• Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow
• Experience in developing systems software in languages like C++

About Meta

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics. Meta is committed to providing reasonable support (called accommodations) in our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long term conditions, mental health conditions or sincerely held religious beliefs, or who are neurodivergent or require pregnancy-related support. If you need support, please reach out to accommodations-ext@fb.com.
