Software Engineer, AI Compiler

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

Join the team revolutionizing AI computing at Tenstorrent. In this role you will lead development on TT-Forge, our MLIR-based compiler, and manage a team focused on scaling graph transformations, lowering passes, and kernel-level optimizations. You’ll help shape the future of AI computing through compiler technology that is fast, flexible, and built for real-world models.

This role is hybrid based in Austin, TX.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
