Are you interested in working on and defining bleeding edge technology for hardware acceleration of AI & Machine Learning on FPGAs? Would you like to design and develop new components that solve complex large scale distributed systems problems? If the answer to these questions is yes, then Brainwave team would like to hear from you! Project Brainwave team is looking for strong developers who are interested in working on a fast paced product that ships ability to hardware accelerate Deep Learning models. We write software from the ground-up, running across thousands of servers and handle petabytes of data. We are currently building a reconfigurable hardware accelerated (FPGA) platform for Bing web search backend that will be larger and faster than anything that currently exists. The goal of the system is to rank billions of documents a day within milliseconds E2E latency. To design the new system, we are applying a combination of approaches from the fields of distributed computing, concurrent programming, algorithm optimization, hardware acceleration and many more. Come to define, design and deliver the next state of the art ranking pipeline.
