Strong skills in socket programming will enable you to deploy robust management operations, while deftness in RDMA Verbs will enable you to optimize CPU resources and shape network traffic to deliver real world impact on AI performance metrics, as well as developing tools for gaining insight and visibility into network behavior. As a software developer on the team, you will interface between AI application-level IO teams, cluster architecture teams, and FPGA/ASIC teams to develop solutions that optimize bandwidth and latency while minimizing congestion, pauses, pause spreading, unfairness, etc.
