About the role
We are seeking a full-time Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) / Senior Research Software Engineer (RSE) to join the Computing Infrastructure research group at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford).
You will join a revolutionary new project, rethinking the way we build AI training systems. The project aims to develop an AI training system at 1/1000 of the cost by fitting an AI system with 100's to 1000's of AI accelerators within a single server.
You will lead the development of the overall distributed system solution, ranging from orchestration and management to the integration of all system components. You will work towards maximising the performance of AI training workloads while minimising the training cost, and collaborate with all other researchers in the project, providing innovation across multiple domains. As part of that, you will research a novel AI systems design, covering aspects of distributed systems, hardware/software co-design, resilience and recovery, and sustainability.
About you
You should have a PhD/DPhil in Computer Science, Engineering or a related scientific discipline, or an equivalent professional experience. You will have a proven track record of leading significant development tasks and working within a team that has delivered high quality code in a research environment. You will have knowledge and significant experience in distributed systems, hardware/software co-design or related areas. Significant prior experience of either python, rust and/or C++ software development is essential. You are expected to have publications at related top-tier venues such as SOSP, EuroSys, SC and OSDI. Previous experience of leading a team or relevant industrial experience is desired.
