As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer in the Model Enablement team, you will build our model enablement platform and decide how each model runs across the Metis or Europa AIPU, the host CPU and the host's accelerators. How this work is split and scheduled determines most of the end-to-end performance a customer sees in the Voyager SDK.

The role combines architecture and hands-on work across the model frontend, the graph compiler, the runtime and the application pipeline. During model bring-up, you cover the frontend and graph side, and a device-side engineer covers the backend.
