Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, test, and optimize our hardware and software solutions.

Analyze and improve the efficiency, scalability, and performance of our systems.

Stay abreast of industry trends and advancements to ensure our solutions remain competitive and innovative.

Provide technical leadership across the compiler team, mentoring engineers in advanced compiler techniques, and help scale the team as the company grows.

Experience processing models from popular frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX), and familiarity with model architecture and workloads (transformers, diffusion models, etc.)

Familiarity with auto-scheduling and program synthesis techniques for high-performance ML kernels (e.g., TVM, Halide, or Ansor), or experience with other hardware-aware scheduling techniques.

Familiarity with hardware architectures and their optimization implications, including memory hierarchies, systolic arrays, DMA engines, and GPU-style parallelism.

If you can do the above, you already have strong C++ and python skills

BS/MS/PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
