Who you are

• You have strong programming skills in C, C++, or Rust, with an interest in low-level performance and optimization
• You understand compiler design principles, code generation, and optimization techniques, and you’ve worked on or with compiler frameworks like LLVM or GCC
• You are comfortable debugging complex systems, from compiler internals to generated assembly
• You value collaboration, enjoy learning new hardware architectures, and keep up to date with advancements in compiler and toolchain technologies

What the job involves

• As a Toolchain/Compiler Software Engineer, you’ll design, optimize, and maintain compiler and toolchain infrastructure for our RISC-V processors
• You’ll work closely with CPU architects, software engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure our compiler generates highly efficient, production-ready code
• This is a hands-on role with a mix of deep technical problem-solving, cross-team collaboration, and opportunities to influence the long-term compiler strategy
• This role is fully remote, anywhere around the globe
• We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role
• During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting
• Design, develop, and maintain toolchain components including compiler codegen, linkers, assemblers, debuggers, and related infrastructure
• Optimize compiler output for RISC-V CPUs, implementing new passes and improving existing ones to generate efficient machine code
• Investigate and resolve toolchain-related bugs, working closely with developers to provide reliable and stable builds
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align toolchain capabilities with hardware architecture and performance goals
• Create and maintain high-quality documentation, including technical guides, best practices, and internal knowledge bases
• Deep integration of compilers with cutting-edge RISC-V processor architectures
• Advanced optimization techniques for high-performance CPU workloads, from micro-benchmarks to large-scale applications
• Cross-team workflows for hardware/software co-design in a high-performance computing environment
• Emerging trends in compiler technologies, language standards, and performance analysis tooling
