Member of Technical Staff, Post-Training & Applied Research
Own the end-to-end post-training pipeline—SFT, RL, DPO, evals, distillation, and deployment—on top of SF Tensor's custom GPU compiler and Model Foundry infrastructure, working primarily with PyTorch or JAX.
Member of Technical Staff, AI-Driven Compilation
Design and implement RL and agentic systems that search over massive program spaces to optimize GPU kernels for a high-performance compute compiler, using PyTorch/JAX, LLM agents, and real-hardware reward signals.
Member of Technical Staff, GPU Kernels
Hand-write and optimize GPU kernels across NVIDIA, AMD, TPU, and Trainium for pre-training, inference, and post-training workloads, then encode those optimizations into searchable compiler structures using C++, CUDA, and ISA-level tooling.
Member of Technical Staff, GPU Compiler
Build and extend a search-based GPU compiler (MLIR, LLVM backend) that automatically optimizes AI training/inference kernels across NVIDIA, AMD, TPU, and Trainium targets, working the full pipeline from StableHLO ingestion to direct cubin emission.
Member of Technical Staff, Sandbox Infrastructure
Build and scale a serverless GPU container sandbox infrastructure across NVIDIA, AMD, TPU and Trainium for an AI compute startup's compiler and model training workloads, using Go/C++/Rust, gVisor, and low-level Linux systems engineering.
