Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Research Scientist Intern, AI Infra (PhD) Responsibilities
Research and develop AI agents that optimize training and inference for video recommendation models, including distributed execution, data pipelines, model compilation, and serving.
Investigate recursive self-improvement for video recommendation infrastructure: use profiling traces and validated experiment results to improve infrastructure performance and the agents' subsequent optimization decisions.
Build GPU kernel agents that generate and tune CUDA or Triton kernels, explore memory access and kernel fusion, and verify numerical correctness and performance.
Develop agentic trace analyzers that correlate CPU/GPU timelines, distributed traces, and runtime telemetry to diagnose bottlenecks and explain root causes in training and inference.
Build agentic profilers for both training and inference that select profiling tools, collect targeted measurements, and recommend optimizations for compute, memory, communication, and scheduling.
Design reproducible benchmarks and evaluation methods for optimization agents, measuring training throughput, inference latency and throughput, GPU utilization, memory use, and cost while preserving model quality.
Collaborate with Research Scientists, Software Engineers, and infrastructure partners to scope experiments, build research prototypes, and translate validated findings into practical improvements.
Communicate research plans, progress, and results through technical reports, reusable tools, and publications where appropriate.

Experience developing LLM agents that use tools, coding agents, reinforcement learning, or feedback-driven optimization loops, including evaluation of agent performance and recursive self-improvement
Experience with CUDA, Triton, GPU kernel optimization, or machine learning compilers, including memory optimization, kernel fusion, and automated tuning
Experience profiling training or inference workloads and analyzing traces using tools such as PyTorch Profiler, NVIDIA Nsight Systems, Nsight Compute, or equivalent tools
Experience with distributed training, inference serving, or recommendation infrastructure, including batching, caching, quantization, communication, or data pipeline optimization
Experience with recommendation systems, sequence models, or large-scale video workloads
Demonstrated software development and collaboration experience through technical internships, research projects, work experience, or contributions to open source machine learning and systems tools
