About The Position

Join us in building the next generation of AI compilers. You’ll play a key role in developing the compiler for our novel AI accelerator, working side-by-side with hardware engineers and ML researchers. Your work will shape how deep learning workloads run on cutting-edge dataflow hardware—defining the instruction set, execution model, and developer experience. The result: a compiler that delivers breakthrough performance while remaining seamless and intuitive for ML developers.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience building compilers or high-performance systems software, especially those involving complex resource management or optimization
• Expert in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) and strong Python
• Experience with compiler IRs (SSA-based or graph-based), transformations, and code generation
• Exposure to specialized accelerators (GPU, NPU, FPGA, or custom ASIC) or parallel architectures

Nice To Haves

• Experience with machine learning compiler stacks (e.g., ONNX, MLIR, TVM, XLA, IREE, PyTorch), with contributions to MLIR or LLVM projects a plus
• Experience with optimization methods (LP/MIP, CP, SAT/SMT) using solvers like Gurobi or OR-Tools for scheduling and resource allocation
• Experience compiling for specialized accelerators (GPU, NPU, FPGA, or custom ASIC) on DNN workloads; GPU/DSP experience is valuable if combined with compiler backend work beyond kernel tuning
• Familiarity with heterogeneous compilation, especially mixing custom accelerators with CPUs/GPUs/NPUs, and exposure to analog or in-memory compute is a plus
• Experience collaborating in compiler–hardware co-design (architecture + ISA) for better compiler usability and hardware efficiency

Responsibilities

• Contribute across the full compiler stack, including operator lowering, graph/IR transformations, optimization passes, and backend code generation
• Optimize for dataflow architectures, developing pipelined schedules, memory orchestration, and resource-constrained execution strategies
• Collaborate with hardware architects to influence architectural features, ensuring the compiler and hardware evolve together
• Develop compilation strategies that unify our analog compute with digital subsystems
• Build and maintain a compiler that produces high-performance binaries with strong debugging support, clear error messages, and predictable performance models

Benefits

• The opportunity to shape how deep learning and LLM workloads are compiled on novel hardware
• A role that spans software and hardware co-design, shaping both the compiler and the accelerator architecture
• A collaborative, innovative team that values engineering rigor, continuous integration, and user-focused design
• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package
