Senior Principal Compiler Engineer

SambaNova SystemsSan Jose, TX

About The Position

The era of pervasive AI has arrived. In this era, organizations will use generative AI to unlock hidden value in their data, accelerate processes, reduce costs, drive efficiency and innovation to fundamentally transform their businesses and operations at scale. About the team The compiler team at SambaNova powers the RDU through a unique compilation strategy. By fusing kernels into dataflow graphs that run across the entire accelerator architecture, we avoid sequential kernel launches and eliminate the memory traffic that bottlenecks conventional hardware. This is a key differentiator and unlike any other product on the market. About the role As a Senior Principal Compiler Engineer you'll lead critical areas of our compiler including the IR and pass infrastructure, model lowering and partitioning, tensor tiling, memory management, and mapping operations onto the fabric. You'll operate in a tightly coupled environment, influencing hardware design to optimize performance, and bring the technical judgement, cross functional diplomacy, foresight, and low-level programming depth that integrated system design demands. You'll work with senior team members to ensure career growth and engagement, mentor and develop early career talent, actively recruit for the organization, and participate in interviews.
