Compiler Engineer

The Company

A well-funded deep-tech company in Zürich is building a new class of compute platform aimed at removing fundamental bottlenecks in today’s AI and signal-processing systems.

The company is developing custom hardware that brings computation closer to memory, unlocking significant gains in latency, energy efficiency, and scalability. The compiler stack is central to this effort, translating real-world workloads into hardware-efficient execution paths.

They are now looking to hire a senior compiler engineer to help define and build this stack.

• Designing and maintaining compiler pipelines using MLIR and LLVM
• Lowering AI and DSP operations into hardware-efficient representations
• Code generation, kernel development, and performance tuning
• Building benchmarking, profiling, and regression infrastructure
• Collaborating closely with architecture and hardware teams on HW/SW co-design
• 5+ years of experience in compiler development or low-level systems software
• Strong C++ and Python
• Hands-on experience with MLIR and/or LLVM
• Solid understanding of systems fundamentals (memory, performance, concurrency)
• Comfortable working at the hardware/software boundary and reading specs

If you enjoy building compilers that actually ship and make a measurable difference, this role is worth a conversation.
