Senior Software Engineer Low-Level Systems, Compilers & Embedded AI

Senior Software Engineer Low-Level Systems, Compilers & Embedded AI

We are partnering with an innovative Zürich-based tech company who are seeking a motivated Senior Software Engineer. They’re growing their core software team and looking for an engineer who loves working close to the hardware and has strong experience in compilers, embedded systems, AI models, and DSP algorithms. This is a full-time permanently employed position.

If you love C++, performance tuning, and designing software that makes hardware fly — this will excite you. ⚡

What this role is really about

You’ll design the software foundation that powers a new class of compute hardware — from compilers and runtimes down to hardware‑aware optimizations for AI and DSP operations.

Expect high ownership and deep involvement in both architecture & performance‑critical decisions.

What you’ll be doing

• 🧩 Designing low‑level runtimes, libraries & tooling for embedded + accelerator‑class platforms
• 🔊 Mapping AI models and DSP algorithms efficiently onto custom hardware
• 📊 Building profiling + benchmarking pipelines to track real performance gains
• 🤝 Working with architecture & hardware teams on HW/SW co‑design
• 🧪 Improving CI, testing strategy & release processes

What you need to succeed

To excel here, you should be comfortable at the intersection of compilers, embedded systems, AI, and DSP performance
