Investor Strategy and Research Analyst

Associate, Corporate Development

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

Tenstorrent is building the next generation of AI and RISC-V compute. The Corporate Development Associate works at the center of the company's most consequential transactions and strategic decisions, partnering directly with the C-suite across M&A, fundraising, partnerships, and corporate strategy. It is a high-trust, high-autonomy role for someone who takes on responsibility quickly and operates independently from day one.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, ON; Austin, TX; or Santa Clara, CA.
