Distributed Computing (HPC/AI) Software Engineer

Who are we?

Our team at the Huawei Computing Network Innovation Lab is looking for exceptional talent to join us and lead the development of next generation data centers. We create cutting-edge technologies that synergize software and hardware in tandem to accelerate compute, storage and networking at large-scale. We aim to drive innovations and deliver software defined infrastructure and algorithms to HPC and AI applications.

We are looking for outstanding candidates with hands-on experience in software development. If you are a team player with excellent communication skills and motivation to revolutionize application performance, you’re welcome on board!

What will you be doing?

• Envision, design and develop new features in all layers of the HPC / AI stack, from the application level, through the programming model (e.g. OpenMP, MPI) and down to the supporting libraries/middleware (e.g. UCX, NCCL)
• Research, design and implement features for HPC / AI applications using parallel programming models (e.g. OpenMP, MPI)
• Contribute to open-source scientific computing, networking and I/O libraries
• Research, design and assist in developing hardware offloads for features relevant for scientific, deep learning, and data-intensive workloads

What do we want to see?

• B.Sc. degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related field
• Proficiency in one or more low-level programming languages: C / C++
• 3+ years of experience in object-oriented software development (OOD)

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree
• Hands-on experience in parallel programming or distributed application development (MPI / OpenMP / SHMEM)
• Experience with code optimizations (I/O, data structure, communication patterns, vectorization) and profiling
• Experience in development and utilization of innovative algorithms and data-structures to optimize code performance
• Experience in optimizing AI infrastructure and backends (PyTorch, NCCL, UCC, etc)
• Experience in developing and contributing to large codebases
