Description
Meta is seeking a Research Scientist to join our Research & Development teams. The ideal candidate will have industry experience working on AI Infrastructure related topics. The position will involve taking these skills and applying them to solve for some of the most crucial & exciting problems that exist in the hardware/software space for AI Training. We are hiring in multiple locations and across different teams: The Model/System Co-Design team works on (1) optimizing the parallelisms, compute efficiency, training paradigms to improve the scalability and reliability of large scale distributed training systems; (2) innovating and co-designing noval model architecture for sustained scaling and hardware efficiency; (3) co-designing the learning algorithm to improve the efficiency and robustness of training convergence. We have succesfully landed a number of step function changes to both LLM pre-training and ranking/recommendation model co-design, and continue to focus on bleeding edge exploration to achieve industry-leading scale and efficiency. The MTIA Training Performance team is dedicated to maximizing training performance of Generative AI and recommendation models on Meta's custom accelerators. We model and project the performance of current and future training workloads on custom hardware while it is being designed to provide early, crucial feedback to the architecture, compiler, and kernels teams. We employ cutting-edge optimization and data parallelization strategies to maximize training throughput for the next generations of LLMs and deep recommendation models, and we work cross-functionally with many partner teams to assure the end-to-end performance of large-scale training in order to more quickly deliver the next generation of Generative AI experiences to our users. The Collectives and Communication team within AI Co-design helps drive the development, optimization and tuning of Collective Communications libraries for Nvidia GPUs, MTIA accelerators and AMD GPUs covering both AI training and inference use cases. The comms team works to optimize communications performance at scale and investigate improvements to algorithms, tooling, and interfaces that can impact Meta workloads. We actively work in multiple HPC collective communication libraries and collaborate with teams across Meta and externally.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
