AI Compiler Tech Lead

Technical Lead, AI Compiler

AI Accelerators | San Jose, California

We’re supporting a semiconductor company developing AI processing technology. They’re looking for a hands‑on Technical Lead to guide AI compiler development and help machine learning workloads run efficiently on dedicated accelerator hardware.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical delivery across the AI compiler stack, remaining hands‑on with design and development.

• Develop compiler passes for graph optimisation, operator lowering and hardware‑specific code generation.

• Improve model execution through efficient scheduling, memory allocation and data movement.

• Work closely with hardware, architecture and kernel engineers to optimise performance.

• Support model compatibility, numerical accuracy and debugging across the compilation pipeline.

• Mentor engineers, review code and guide technical decisions.

Requirements

• Strong experience developing compilers for AI accelerators, NPUs, GPUs or comparable hardware.

• Strong C++ skills, with Python experience beneficial.

• Understanding of compiler intermediate representations, optimisation passes and code generation.

• Familiarity with frameworks or toolchains such as LLVM, MLIR, TVM or equivalent technologies.

• Experience with neural network workloads, quantisation and accelerator memory constraints.

• Experience leading technical projects and supporting other engineers.

• Ability to connect compiler design decisions with hardware performance.

The Opportunity

• Take a technical leadership role in AI compiler development.

• Influence how machine learning models map onto accelerator hardware.

• Work closely with teams across software and silicon development.
