ML Engineering Manager, Model Graph
About the TeamThe Workload ML team builds the core ML libraries of our state-of-the-art internal training framework used to train our cutting-edge models. The Model-Graph team within ML works primarily on optimizing distributed model execution.Our priorities are to maximize training/inference throughput (how quickly we can train a new model) and researcher throughput (how quickly we can develop new models) with the goal of accelerating progress towards AGI.About the RoleWe are looking for an experienced engineering manager to help lead critical work on model definition and efficient distributed execution via graph compiler within our shared internal training stack. Our internal training stack is used by Research for large scale and small scale runs.In this role, you will:Reduce the time it takes to try out new architecture ideas for training new models and increase the robustness of model code.Collaborate closely with researchers and other systems engineers to maximize the benefits of our shared internal training stack.Enable SOTA throughput for our most important research models.Hire world-class AI systems engineers in one of the most competitive hiring markets.Coordinate the training/inference needs of OpenAI's research teams.Create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that makes all feel welcome while enabling radical candor and the challenging of group think.You might thrive in this role if you:Have 3+ years of experience in engineering management and 5+ years as an IC working with high scale distributed systems and ML systems.Have experience with ML systems, particularly large scale distributed training or inference of modern LLMs, as well as graph compilers.Have familiarity with the latest AI research and working knowledge of how these systems are efficiently implemented.Care deeply about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have a track record of building inclusive teams.About OpenAIOpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
