About the job

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

Our team builds the compiler which enables Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), Google's in-house custom designed processor, to accelerate machine learning and other scientific computing workloads for both internal Google customers and external Cloud customers. The team offers opportunities up and down the compiler stack, working on Low Level Virtual Machine as well as the Multi-Level Intermediate Representation middle-end.

In this role, you'll be working on the MLIR/LLVM based TPU compiler for TPUs. You will support new workloads, optimize for new models and new characteristics, as well as support new TPU hardware across multiple generations.

Google Cloud accelerates organizations' ability to digitally transform their business with the best infrastructure, platform, industry solutions and expertise. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology - all on the cleanest cloud in the industry. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and improve the performance of ML models end-to-end, and identify key performance bottlenecks both on the TPU device and the host.
• Develop novel compiler optimizations that provide performance wins to end users.
• Implement compiler support for new TPU hardware features.
• Contribute to hardware/software co-design of future TPUs.
