Compiler Engineer

Compiler / Toolchain Engineer

Location: Bristol / Hybrid

The Company

I'm currently supporting an exciting Bristol-based semiconductor company developing highly differentiated processors and software for intelligent edge applications.

They’re now looking for a Compiler / Toolchain Engineer to work on a new MLIR-based compiler and DSL which takes a higher-level programming language through to C for their underlying hardware architecture.

This is a great opportunity to take real ownership of a new compiler stack, working closely with both the applications and hardware teams on some genuinely interesting and unconventional compiler problems.

Compiler / Toolchain Engineer Responsibilities

• Design and develop a new MLIR-based compiler and DSL toolchain
• Build compiler infrastructure taking a higher-level language through to C
• Develop compiler passes, transformations and optimisation infrastructure
• Work closely with applications and hardware engineers to shape the compiler architecture
• Take technical ownership over the design and future direction of the toolchain

Compiler / Toolchain Engineer Background

• Strong C++ and systems-level programming experience
• Experience with compiler development, language tooling or DSLs
• Exposure to LLVM / MLIR or similar compiler technologies would be highly beneficial
• Experience with compiler passes, IRs, optimisation or code generation
• Strong understanding of low-level software and computer architecture is beneficial

The team are ideally looking for someone able to work around 3 days per week from their Bristol office.
