This role bridges advanced compiler technology with systems optimization, enabling domain-specific performance across heterogeneous architectures (GPUs and accelerators).
Responsibilities
Compiler Development and Optimization
- Design and implement MLIR-based compiler passes for lowering, optimization, and code generation
- Build domain-specific dialects to represent compute kernels at multiple abstraction levels
- Develop performance-tuned transformation pipelines targeting vectorization, parallelization, and memory locality
- Generate and optimize kernels for linear algebra, convolution, and other math-intensive primitives
- Ensure cross-target portability while achieving near hand-tuned performance
- Collaborate with hardware teams to integrate backend-specific optimizations
- Profile generated code and identify performance bottlenecks across architectures
- Implement optimizations for cache utilization, prefetching, and scheduling
- Contribute to auto-tuning strategies for workload-specific performance
- Work closely with ML researchers, system architects, and runtime engineers to co-design kernel generation strategies
- Stay up to date with developments in MLIR, LLVM, and compiler technologies

The Experience Must Include Experience In/with
- Compiler design and optimization (MLIR, LLVM, or equivalent)
- Code generation and transformation passes
- High-performance computing techniques: vectorization, loop optimizations, polyhedral transformations, and memory hierarchy optimization
- Familiarity with machine learning workloads (e.g., matrix multiplications, convolutions)
- Hands-on experience extending MLIR dialects or contributing to the MLIR ecosystem
- Background in GPU programming models (CUDA, ROCm, SYCL) or AI accelerators
- Knowledge of numerical linear algebra libraries (BLAS, cuDNN, MKL) and their performance characteristics
- Experience with auto-tuning frameworks (e.g., TVM, Halide, Triton)
