Software Engineer III, OpenXLA

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.

In this role, you will aim to make OpenXLA the best place for Machine Learning (ML) acceleration innovation. OpenXLA is an open-source ML compiler that powers Tensorflow, JAX and PyTorch/XLA. It accelerates ML models on Central Processing Units (CPU) and Graphics Processing Units (GPU). You will work on the stack (the hardware-independent bits), which includes StableHLO, HLO, XLA components and Application programming interface (API), and compiler tooling for faster model debugging. You will make OpenXLA the best place for ML accelerator and for vendors and compiler research, ensuring they can plug their hardware specific optimizations, code generation, and contributions into the OpenXLA stack.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
