About the Institute of Foundation Models

We are a dedicated research lab for building, understanding, using,

and risk-managing foundation models. Our mandate is to advance

research, nurture the next generation of AI builders, and drive

transformative contributions to a knowledge-driven economy.

As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on the

Core of cutting-edge foundation model training, alongside

world-class researchers, data scientists, and engineers, tackling

the most fundamental and impactful challenges in AI development.

You will participate in the development of groundbreaking AI

solutions that have the potential to reshape entire industries.

Instrumental in establishing MBZUAI as a global hub for

high-performance computing in deep learning, driving impactful

discoveries that inspire the next generation of AI pioneers.

The Role

IFM is building the foundational compute infrastructure that will

power tomorrow’s breakthroughs in AI and computational science.

We’re looking for a High Performance Computing Software

Engineer to help us design, develop, and operate the software

systems that run our large-scale AI workloads.

In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of high-performance

computing and machine learning. You’ll be part of a team

responsible for crafting the software stack that enables training

of cutting-edge ML models—spanning 1000+ GPUs—and ensuring our

infrastructure is robust, performant, and developer-friendly.

Job Responsibilities

  • Design and implement high-performance, distributed software

solutions for large-scale AI/ML training.

  • Optimize low-level system components including Linux kernel,

GPU/accelerator kernels, and interconnects.

  • Develop and tune communication libraries such as NCCL, MPI,

UCX, RCCL, and RDMA-based systems.

  • Partner with ML researchers and engineers to support frameworks

like PyTorch, MegatronLM, and DeepSpeed in large-scale production

environments.

  • Contribute to our scheduling, orchestration, and job management

systems, including Slurm and Kubernetes.

  • Debug and resolve complex issues across the stack—from kernel

to container to model.

  • Work closely with hardware vendors, upstream open-source

Communities, and internal teams to drive performance and

reliability improvements.

Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience developing and optimizing software for

large-scale ML workloads (1000+ GPUs preferred).

  • Deep understanding of Linux kernel internals and accelerator

(GPU) kernel development.

  • Proficiency with distributed communication libraries (e.g.,

NCCL, RCCL, MPI, UCX, SHARP, Libfabric).

  • Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or

MegatronLM.

  • Strong knowledge of HPC job scheduling and orchestration tools

(e.g., Slurm, Kubernetes, Pyxis).

  • Excellent debugging and systems performance tuning skills.
  • A collaborative mindset with a focus on shared success and

technical excellence.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of

the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing

Resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential

inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials

based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment

team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are

ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about

how your data is processed, please contact us.
