Principal Compiler Engineer

Acceler8 Talent is seeking a Principal Compiler Engineer to join an early stage startup backed by a Tier-1 VC that is rethinking AI infrastructure from first principles.

Founded by industry veterans with a track record of shipping some of the industry's most successful products, this company is innovating at the chip and system level to deliver an order of magnitude better performance-per-watt for inference, which would mean a huge economic shift for anyone running large scale models.

Responsibilities:

● Lead compiler development efforts

● Build and optimize ML compiler infrastructure across the stack

● Lower PyTorch/Triton workloads to efficient machine IR

● Optimize for GPUs (CUDA/ROCm) and XPU AI hardware

● Collaborate on HW–SW co-design in a fast-moving startup

Experience:

● PhD + 5 years (or equivalent) in compilers, ML systems, or related fields

● Experience developing compiler passes in LLVM or MLIR. 

● Strong compiler fundamentals and performance optimization skills

● Experience with PyTorch, Triton, and low-level code generation

● GPU expertise and HW–SW co-design experience a plus
