Systems Software Engineer

Join an innovative AI hardware start-up | UK Remote
This exciting start-up is developing a fundamentally new approach to AI infrastructure, building hardware capable of accessing and traversing large-scale knowledge structures at machine speed. The team are now looking for a Systems Software Engineer to build the software foundation that enables developers to integrate this novel hardware into real AI workloads.
You'll work across the boundary between hardware and software, owning the runtime, SDK and APIs that interface with FPGA/ASIC hardware while focusing heavily on performance, developer experience and hardware/software co-design.
For this Systems Software Engineer role, we are looking for someone with:
Strong experience developing C/C++ software on Linux
Background in systems software, accelerator runtimes, FPGA, DPU, SmartNIC or custom silicon
Experience with PCIe, DMA, memory-mapped I/O or similar hardware interfaces
Experience working closely with FPGA or hardware engineering teams
Strong understanding of performance optimisation, benchmarking and profiling
Python experience for SDK development, tooling or automation
Ideally, experience developing runtime software, SDKs or APIs for novel hardware platforms
What next?
If you're a Systems Software Engineer looking to work at the intersection of AI, hardware and low-level software, with the opportunity to help define an entirely new computing architecture, then please apply today to learn more!
