We are seeking a GCC Compiler Engineer to design, develop, and optimize compilers for next-generation RISC-V and AI compute architectures. You will work across hardware and software teams to improve performance, programmability, and integration of our custom toolchains into real applications. This role is fully hands-on and central to how developers interact with Tenstorrent hardware across both traditional compute and advanced machine learning workloads.

This role is Hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA, Austin, TX, or Toronto, ON.

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.

Who You Are

Experienced compiler engineer with deep knowledge of GCC and LLVM internals, comfortable optimizing for custom hardware targets.
Strong C/C++ developer with a solid grasp of algorithms, data structures, and performance analysis.
Collaborative and analytical, able to work across hardware and software domains to deliver efficient, high-performance toolchains.
Passionate about enabling breakthrough compute architectures through compiler innovation and software-hardware co-design.

What We Need

Design, develop, and optimize GCC and/or LLVM compilers for Tenstorrent’s custom RISC-V hardware and AI vector engines.
Contribute to the co-design of Tenstorrent’s hardware and software stack to maximize performance and programmability.
Benchmark, analyze, and tune performance of core applications across RISC-V and AI software environments.
Collaborate with ML engineers to identify and implement compiler support for emerging AI workloads and frameworks.

What You’ll Learn

How compiler design directly impacts the performance and efficiency of next-generation RISC-V and AI architectures.
Advanced techniques in hardware-software co-optimization and compiler-driven performance tuning.
Integration of custom compilers with leading ML frameworks and runtime environments.
The end-to-end toolchain flow that enables Tenstorrent’s scalable, high-performance AI compute systems.

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.
