We are seeking an AI Compiler Engineer with deep expertise in compiler technologies to join our team. The ideal candidate brings broad experience across machine learning, including reinforcement learning, genetic/evolutionary algorithms, predictive modeling, complex systems, and high-dimensional data analysis, along with strong foundations in compiler design and domain-specific languages. This role is focused on building AI-driven compiler intelligence for production compiler pipelines, delivering measurable improvements in performance and efficiency, and advancing LLM-enabled workflows for compiler decisioning and developer productivity.
What you'll be doing:
- Join a team driving innovative solutions in compilers and developer tools through applied machine learning and AI.
- Collaborate with world-class engineers to shape next-generation compiler capabilities that power large-scale, high-impact products.
- Design and implement end-to-end compiler optimization workflows, from feature engineering and model development to compiler integration and production rollout.
- Develop and integrate learning-based decision systems into compiler passes, code generation flows, and optimization pipelines.
- Build robust interfaces between LLM systems and compiler infrastructure for optimization recommendations, decision support, and workflow automation.
- Partner with compiler, architecture, and performance teams to validate impact on representative workloads and benchmark suites.
- Lead experimentation, evaluation, and deployment with strong standards for reliability, scalability, and performance.
What we need to see:
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience), with a focus on machine learning and compiler/developer tools.
- 8+ years of software engineering and AI/ML experience, preferably in tools or systems development.
- Strong knowledge of compilers, code generation, and GPU architecture.
- Demonstrated proficiency in Python and C/C++.
- Strong mathematical and scientific foundation relevant to AI/ML and compiler technologies.
- Hands-on experience with LLVM/MLIR-based compiler development, including optimization passes, code generation, or frontend integration.
- Experience building or integrating LLM-based systems, agents, or developer tooling in production environments.
Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd
- Deep familiarity with reinforcement learning, genetic/evolutionary algorithms, predictive modeling, and complex systems.
- Proven track record of deploying AI/ML solutions in production and embedded environments.
- Strong experience integrating LLMs into systems workflows with attention to reliability, latency, and evaluation quality.
- Demonstrated measurable outcomes such as runtime gains, compile-time improvements, or efficiency improvements on real-world workloads.
- Publications, open-source contributions, or patents in compilers, AI/ML systems, or performance engineering.
With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing.
