Founding Engineer, Compiler / ML Systems

Responsibilities

Design scheduling and graph-optimization logic for how AI workloads get mapped onto constrained hardware

Build quantization and precision-scaling tooling as a core lever for performance gains

Own early IR/graph-pass work - narrow scope by design (one model class, one hardware target, tight iteration loop)

Work closely with the systems engineer (Job 1) — this is explicitly a two-person collaboration for the first phase, not a solo build

Bias toward shippable, measurable results over general-purpose architecture

Requirements

MLIR/LLVM exposure or equivalent compiler / graph-IR experience (production ML compilers, quantization toolkits, or strong research-to-production background all count)
Comfortable owning deep-tech scope against a short, concrete proof point rather than a long spec
