Compiler engineer
A deep tech start-up are seeking to bolster their team with a talented frontend compiler engineer.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement front-end compiler modules (parsers, ASTs, semantic analyzers, type systems) using or extending Clang/LLVM.
- Implement language features, ISA extensions, and front-end mechanisms to detect parallelism (loops, vectorization, task/thread-level parallelism).
- Translate high-level code into intermediate representations (LLVM IR or custom IR) optimized for Flows PPU-enabled backend.
- Collaborate across teams to ensure front-end output aligns with backend requirements, including instruction selection and code offloading.
- Develop diagnostics, error/warning messages, benchmarking, and tooling to improve usability, reliability, and performance of the compiler.
Requirements:
- Strong experience in compiler front-end development: parsing, ASTs, type checking, semantic analysis, IR generation.
- Proficiency with LLVM/Clang front-end and understanding of how front-end maps to back-end via IR.
- Solid understanding of CPU architectures, SIMD/MIMD, vectorization, and exposing parallelism in software.
- Familiarity with ISA extensions or custom instruction sets (e.g., RISC-V) for heterogeneous CPU + PPU targets.
- Strong software engineering skills: debugging, testing, cross-team collaboration, and delivering production-quality front-end compilers.
