Israel, HaifaFull timePosted 15 days ago (Jul 29, 2026)

Job Description

About the team: Network and Collectives owns the scale-out communication substrate for our AI accelerator - the NCCL equivalent for our hardware. We turn many chips into one machine: all-reduce, all-gather, reduce-scatter and point-to-point, made topology-aware and mapped onto the rack/pod interconnect. We are measured on real fabric across a pod, not on a single card, and we pair tightly with the Tray/Rack/Pod/Cluster HW pillar and the Multi-Node Runtime team. What you will do: • Design and implement collective algorithms tuned to our interconnect topology and bandwidth/latency profile. • Build a topology-aware transport layer over the tray/rack/pod. • Optimize end-to-end collective performance across multi-node pods; profile, find bottlenecks, and close the gap to fabric peak. • Co-design with HW on interconnect features, and with Multi-Node Runtime on partitioning, overlap, and scheduling. • Own correctness and numerical determinism of reductions across scale-out.

Qualifications

• 5+ years AI/Systems/HPC software in C++; strong concurrency and lock-free design. • Hands-on with collective libraries (NCCL/MPI/etc) or scale-out communication. • Working knowledge of the communication patterns behind tensor, pipeline, and expert parallelism, and how they map onto collectives and the underlying fabric. • Performance engineering: profiling, bandwidth/latency tuning, roofline reasoning. Nice-to-have • Topology/placement algorithms; congestion control; multi-tenant fabrics. • Large-scale distributed training/inference exposure. • Experience with large-scale inference serving stacks (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, DeepSeek). • RDMA/InfiniBand/RoCE, GPUDirect-style transfers, or comparable fabric experience.
