Job Description

Who You Are

• A passionate software engineer eager to work on compiler technologies and the challenges of AI hardware, whether from compilers, systems, or broader software backgrounds.
• Fluent in C++ and Python, with experience building complex systems that bridge high-level frameworks to low-level execution.
• Excited by compiler optimization and machine learning, with experience in PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, or deep systems programming.
• A collaborative problem-solver who thrives in open-source and enjoys working closely with hardware and software engineers.

What We Need

• A drive to solve novel challenges in AI compilation, from optimizing computational graphs to creating custom dialects and transformation passes.
• Experience or strong interest in MLIR and how modular compiler frameworks connect AI models to advanced hardware.
• Motivation to build technology that impacts the future of AI, knowing your work will enable the next wave of breakthroughs.

What You Will Learn

• How to build open-source compiler frameworks supporting diverse AI models and workloads, including training and multi-chip scaling.
• Deep expertise in compiler technologies including custom MLIR dialects (TTIR, TTNN, TTKernel) and transformation passes.
• New methods for human-in-the-loop compiler optimization using TT-Explorer, making advanced tuning tools usable by all developers.
• How compiler technology powers Tenstorrent’s mission to deliver affordable, open-source AI computing in a highly competitive space.

Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.

Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.

This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
