Full job description

Summary:

Meta is seeking a Software Engineer to join the MTIA (Meta Training & Inference Accelerator) Software Tooling team, which develops and maintains the tooling ecosystem for Meta's in-house AI accelerator ASICs. The Tooling team provides debugging, profiling, memory analysis, and monitoring capabilities for the whole MTIA Ecosystem, redefining ML accelerator tooling by leveraging Meta's full-stack ownership from silicon specs to fleet observability.In this role, you will design, build, and maintain developer tools that help engineers debug, profile, measure, and monitor AI workloads running on MTIA hardware at scale. You will work at the intersection of compilers, runtime, hardware, and ML frameworks, collaborating with cross-functional partners to deliver a high-quality developer experience for Meta's custom AI accelerators.

Required Skills:

Software Engineer, Systems Machine Learning Responsibilities:

  1. Design and develop software tools across the MTIA tooling ecosystem, including debugging, profiling, performance analysis, memory analysis, and monitoring infrastructure

  2. Own features and components end-to-end, from design through implementation, testing, and deployment

  3. Build and improve tooling infrastructure that enables engineers to efficiently develop, test, and optimize AI workloads on MTIA hardware

  4. Collaborate with the MTIA compiler, runtime, kernel, and hardware teams to integrate tooling hooks and support new platform capabilities

  5. Proactively identify gaps in the tooling ecosystem and propose solutions to improve developer productivity

  6. Contribute to technical design discussions, write design documents for medium-scope projects, and participate in code reviews

  7. Partner with internal product teams across advertising, recommendations, and generative AI to understand developer pain points and improve tool usability
