SSE - Optimization Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to develop and optimize deep learning models, including CNNs, LLMs, and MoE, for efficient inference across CPU, GPU, hardware accelerators, and edge devices. The role focuses on quantization, model compression, high-performance kernel implementation, transformer optimization, and production deployment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize deep learning models (CNNs, LLMs, MoE) for efficient inference across CPU, GPU, hardware accelerators, and edge devices.
• Design and implement quantization algorithms (PTQ, QAT, GPTQ, AWQ) from scratch.
• Apply model compression techniques such as pruning, decomposition, and distillation.
• Implement and optimize quantized kernels (INT8, INT4, FP8) using C++ for high performance.
• Translate research papers into production-ready implementations.
• Optimize latency, throughput, and memory usage for real-world deployment.
• Work on transformer optimization including KV-cache, PEFT (LoRA/QLoRA), and MoE models.
• Profile, benchmark, and debug model performance across different hardware platforms.
• Collaborate with ML, compiler, and hardware teams to deliver optimized solutions.
