Job Description

Azure AI Infrastructure team is looking for passionate engineers to build the largest deep-learning infrastructure service at Microsoft. In this role you will be tasked with building new components to bring the latest innovations in AI Infrastructure onto the Azure AI Platform. You will partner with top engineering talent within Azure AI Infrastructure and across Azure to work on cluster orchestration, job scheduling, storage, networking, containerization and operating system integration. Your work will enable various AI languages and run-times on Azure AI Infrastructure to bring distributed deep learning training and inferencing to life. In addition, you will build infrastructure components required to build, deploy, monitor and service highly available and scalable Microsoft Service Fabric and Kubernetes clusters under your care. You will lead development and customer support from the frontline and establish architecture, service excellence guidelines and a high-quality barCandidates must have a track record for delivering engineering and service excellence on a mid-to-large scale serviceWho are We?We are engineers on Azure AI Infrastructure. We believe that building a planet-scale AI Supercomputer from the ground-up which addresses the fundamental pain-points of data scientists and AI practitioners and takes AI to the unprecedented scale is an opportunity of a lifetime. If you share the same dream as us, come join us!What Is Azure AI Infrastructure?High scale AI workloads are always testing the limits of the infrastructure stack. Large-scale model training and inference with huge data volumes of training data on hundreds-thousands of GPUs make it a true engineering challenge. Azure AI Infrastructure is a globally distributed, multi-tenant service that provides robust, cost-effective and competitive AI infrastructure (compute, networking and storage) for AI training and inferencing. By abstracting workloads from underlying infrastructure, Azure AI Infrastructure creates a shared pool of resources that can be dynamically provisioned for full utilization of expensive GPU compute, and enabling data scientists to productively build, scale, experiment, and iterate their models on top of a robust, performant, scalable and cost-effective distributed infrastructure built for AI. In Azure AI Infrastructure, we are constantly seeking to apply the best ideas from AI, ML, distributed systems, distributed databases, machine learning, information retrieval, networking, and securityResponsibilities:Responsibilities:

• Deliver a robust container orchestration platform for Azure AI Infrastructure
• Design and build the scheduling sub-system that is responsible for delivering on the SLAs for AI training and inferencing workloads
• Design and build storage and caching system for efficient DNN training and inferencing
• Design and build control plane APIs for creation and management of training jobs and inference model metadata
• Deliver node management, fault detection and node repair as a service to improve job/model reliability
• Deliver world-class monitoring systems and telemetry pipelines to enhance service and job observability for both end-users and operators
• Codify security and compliance requirements by building and strengthening system defenses against malicious attacks and exploits
• Leverage performance and profiling tools to identify hot spots and bottlenecks across hardware and software boundaries: from CPU, microcode, OS, networking code and drive end-to-end job performance

Qualifications:Required and Preferred:

• 6+ years of experience with coding in one of C#, C or C++, Rust, go
• Experience working with the Linux operation system and Kubernetes cluster orchestration
• Experience with improving service operations or engineering fundamentals
• Excellent collaboration skills
• A masters or bachelors degree in computer science or a related field
• At least 5 years of experience building and shipping production software or services
