Machine Learning Systems & Performance Engineer - HFT - Sydney

Build high-performance machine learning infrastructure spanning compilers, runtimes, optimizers, and heterogeneous hardware, accelerating research iteration and production workloads through deep systems-level engineering.

What You'll Do:

1. Build optimizers, code generators, runtime libraries, and computation orchestration systems.
2. Improve the speed and efficiency of machine learning research and production workloads.
3. Design systems that execute computation across heterogeneous hardware.
4. Work across the entire compute stack, from high-level orchestration to hardware-level performance.
5. Analyze compute graphs and identify opportunities to optimize critical execution paths.
6. Investigate compiler behavior and understand how software translates into hardware execution.
7. Develop solutions using technologies such as C++, Rust, Python, MLIR, and CUDA.
8. Collaborate with stakeholders to understand requirements and turn them into effective technical solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

1. Designing and developing machine learning framework infrastructure.
2. Optimizing runtimes and compute pipelines for maximum hardware performance.
3. Building tooling that accelerates research iteration and experimentation.
4. Working with compilers, code generation, runtime systems, and orchestration layers.
5. Profiling and analyzing hardware behavior to identify performance bottlenecks.
6. Improving hot paths and extracting maximum performance from available hardware.
7. Moving fluidly between high-level system architecture and low-level implementation details.
8. Learning unfamiliar technologies and areas of the stack independently.
9. Evaluating technical approaches and selecting the right language or tool for each problem.
10. Working closely with stakeholders across the organization to identify underlying needs and deliver practical solutions.
