About the Role

Compiler Engineer role at Vorticity developing LLVM-based compiler software for Scientific Processing Units (SPUs). Responsible for extending compiler backends, building frontends, creating runtime libraries, and optimizing kernel libraries for high-performance scientific computing hardware.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and extend Vorticity's compiler backend mapping LLVM IR to proprietary ISA
• Build and maintain compiler frontends (C/C++, MLIR) to map custom kernels to SPU
• Create low-level runtime libraries to program and control multi-host SPU systems
• Participate in iterative optimization loops for low-level kernel libraries
• Lay groundwork for integration with high-level software frameworks (PyTorch, Triton)

Required Skills & Qualifications

Must Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5+ years experience in modern C++ (LLVM IR experience strongly preferred)
• Background in high-performance computing or parallel programming
• Deep understanding of computer architecture and compiler frameworks

Nice to Have:

• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field
• Shell scripting skills
• CUDA C++ experience
