Software Engineer, AI Compiler

Leadership to drive compiler development across multiple layers of the stack, including custom dialects, transformation passes, and runtime integration. - Alignment with hardware, software, and ML teams to ensure the compiler supports realistic performance and deployment needs. - Technical ownership of roadmap priorities, planning, and mentorship for a high-performing engineering team. - Insight to identify bottlenecks, debug performance issues, and improve developer workflows across the stack. What We Need

Experience building compilers or similar systems, with strong fluency in C++ and Python. - Strong knoweledge of MLIR, LLVM, or related infrastructure, with hands-on work in dialect design or optimization passes. - You have a strong understanding of modern AI frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX, including how models are transformed and executed. - A background in working across teams to ship reliable, scalable tools in fast-paced engineering environments. What You’ll Learn

How to build compiler infrastructure that supports both training and inference at scale across custom chip architectures. - New approaches for human-in-the-loop optimization using TT-Explorer and other internal tooling. - Best practices for evolving MLIR dialects like TTIR, TTNN, and TTKernel to support next-generation AI workloads. - How Tenstorrent delivers open, performant, and developer-friendly AI infrastructure that scales with industry demands. Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency.
