RISC-V AI / HPC & Agentic Software Engineer

Role Description

As the RISC-V AI / HPC & Agentic Software Engineering Lead, you will operate at the hardware–software boundary, enabling AI, HPC, and agentic AI software stacks on Tenstorrent’s RISC-V processors. This role is responsible for:

• Integrating and optimizing Tenstorrent’s LLK (Low-Level Kernel) infrastructure for CPU execution.
• Leading the bring-up of a RISC-V-native agentic AI software stack, including:
• Runtime orchestration
• Distributed execution frameworks
• Memory systems
• Developer tools required for goal-driven AI systems
• Working closely with:
• CPU architects
• Microarchitecture teams
• Compiler engineers
• AI kernel developers
• Ensuring tight alignment between software capabilities and RISC-V architectural features.

This role is remote, based out of Taiwan. We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. 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.

Qualifications

• A systems-oriented software engineer with deep experience in HPC and AI software stacks.
• Experienced with distributed AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or agentic AI architectures.
• Comfortable working close to hardware and instruction-level programming.
• Skilled at translating performance targets into architectural and software requirements.
• Experienced in runtime systems, profiling, and low-level optimization.
• Motivated by hardware–software co-design and scaling next-generation AI infrastructure.

Requirements

• Strong background in HPC and AI software development.
• Solid understanding of RISC-V architecture (ISA, extensions, micro-architectural implications).
• Proficiency in C/C++ and systems programming.
• Experience optimizing performance-critical code paths.
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks, distributed execution systems, or orchestration platforms.
• Familiarity with compiler toolchains (LLVM, GCC).
• Experience with vectorization, custom ISA extensions, or accelerator integration.

Benefits

• Highly competitive compensation package.
• Equal opportunity employer.
