Compiler Engineer Responsibilities

• Design and implement mid-end and back-end compiler components targeting proprietary hardware architectures.
• Work closely with hardware, architecture, and systems teams to influence design decisions from a compiler author's perspective.
• The role is focused on performance, correctness, and long-term maintainability, contributing to a production-grade compiler stack used to run large-scale ML workloads.

Compiler Engineer Background

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with a performance-first mindset.
• Hands-on experience with core compiler algorithms such as register allocation, instruction selection and scheduling, and loop optimisations.
• Comfortable operating in a hybrid environment and collaborating across hardware and software boundaries.

Compensation & Benefits

Highly competitive base salary up to $400k, plus equity. Comprehensive benefits package including generous PTO, parental leave, learning budget, and flexible working at the start and end of the week.
