Machine Learning Compiler Engineer, Annapurna Labs

Our team is responsible for the AWS Neuron Compiler, a cutting‑edge deep learning compiler stack that powers Generative AI and other advanced ML workloads on AWS’s custom-built ML accelerators — Inferentia and Trainium. These accelerators deliver best‑in‑class performance and cost‑efficiency for ML inference and training in the cloud.

We’re building a new core group of engineers in Tel Aviv to drive innovation in compiler technology and systems‑level ML software.

As a Machine Learning Compiler Engineer, you’ll help shape the direction of the team from the ground up and work on:

- Designing and optimizing compiler features for high‑performance ML workloads

- Solving complex challenges in areas like graph optimization, code generation, and hardware‑software co‑design

- Collaborating across Runtime, Frameworks, and Hardware teams to maximize end‑to‑end performance

As part of the Backend Compiler Team, you’ll contribute to projects involving instruction scheduling, memory management, parallelism, graph partitioning, ISA design, and new hardware bring‑up.

This is a unique opportunity to be at the intersection of ML and systems within AWS, helping to build the future of AI infrastructure — right here in Tel Aviv.

Key job responsibilities

- Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.

- Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.

- Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.

A day in the life

- Build high‑impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.

- Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.

- Work cross‑functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.

- Work in a startup‑like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.

Considering the technical requirements of this role, and to ensure fair and equal candidate consideration, we are conducting full interview loops. If you meet the basic qualifications, and the team is interested in moving forward, we will be in touch to coordinate your interviews.
