What you’re signing up for
This is a young company doing hard things, at the intersection of novel silicon and the software stack that makes it useful. You'll be building and leading a compiler team as the hardware it targets is still taking shape, which means making architectural decisions against a specification first, then a simulator, then early silicon. The IR design, the lowering strategy, the execution model: you'll help define all of it before you can run it on real hardware.
That takes comfort with ambiguity and the ability to make good calls with incomplete information. If that sounds frustrating, this probably isn't the role. If that sounds like the interesting part, we should talk.
The boundaries here are soft by design. The compiler team works closely with hardware architects, kernel engineers, runtime teams and ML researchers. You'll need to understand enough of what sits above and below your layer to make good decisions at the boundary, and to build a team that can do the same. That breadth is a feature of the job, not a distraction from it.
You'll be there when the first model runs end to end on Fractile silicon. When the lowering strategy you helped design produces a result the hardware team didn't think was possible yet. When the team you hired and grew ships something that goes into every rack we sell.
We want a team that reflects the world it's building for, and we welcome applicants from every background, including those whose path here hasn't been straight. We care that you're energised by this kind of work, that you build and develop great engineers, and that you make the people around you better.
Come build it with us.
