Software Engineer, Systems ML - Pytorch Compiler / Performance (Phd)

The PyTorch Compiler team is dedicated to making PyTorch run faster and more resource-efficient without sacrificing its flexibility and ease of use. The team is the driving force behind PT2, a step function change in PyTorch's history that brought compiler technologies to the core of PyTorch.

PT2 technologies have gained industry-wide recognition since their first release in March 2023. The team is committed to building the PT2 compiler that withstands the test of time while striving to become the #1 ML framework compiler in the industry. The team is highly innovative, passionate about the technologies we build, and love to do deep technical work. Our work is open source, cutting-edge, and industry leading.

About Meta

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect.

Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.

Meta is committed to providing reasonable support (called accommodations) in our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long term conditions, mental health conditions or sincerely held religious beliefs, or who are neurodivergent or require pregnancy-related support. If you need support, please reach out to accommodations-ext@fb.com.
