About The Role

Own MLIR dialect design and lowering passes for our AI accelerator — defining the high-level tensor IR, async / streaming semantics, and sharded-tensor types that bridge ML frameworks to silicon. Work with chip-design and software teams driving DensityAI's AI accelerator program from first silicon through scale-out.

  • Own MLIR dialect design and lowering passes for our AI accelerator — defining the high-level tensor IR, async / streaming semantics, and sharded-tensor types that bridge ML frameworks to silicon.
  • Use and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate compiler development.

What we're looking for

  • Exceptional abilities in MLIR dialect design, lowering pass authoring, and rewrite patterns
  • 5 years compiler engineering experience, with hands-on MLIR contributions or equivalent IR-design experience
  • Deep understanding of tensor compilation, distributed / sharded execution, and async / streaming dataflow models
  • Strong C fluency and experience integrating with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, ONNX, TensorFlow, or equivalent)
  • (Optional) LLVM backend experience, GPU compiler experience (Triton, IREE, XLA, or equivalent), or open-source MLIR / LLVM contributions

Compensation

Base salary: $200k – $360k USD per year, depending on experience and qualifications. Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role. Additional compensation: equity grant per company guidelines; medical / dental / vision; 401(k); standard PTO. Discussed in detail during the interview.
