Job Description
NextSilicon is reimagining high-performance computing. Our accelerated compute solutions leverage intelligent adaptive algorithms to vastly accelerate supercomputers, driving them forward into a new generation. Our new software-defined hardware architecture enables HPC to fulfill its promise of breakthroughs in all fields of advanced research.
At NextSilicon, everything we do is guided by three core values:
- Professionalism We strive for exceptional results through professionalism and unwavering dedication to quality and performance.
- Unity Collaboration is key to success. That's why we foster a work environment where every employee can feel valued and heard.
- Impact We're passionate about developing technologies that make a meaningful impact on industries, communities, and individuals worldwide.
The compiler team is developing an automated optimization process that adapts our unique hardware architecture to run any high-performance computing application, with little to no code modifications required. By using iterative rounds of telemetry and optimization, our compiler is able to intelligently adapt our accelerator into a workload-specific ASIC, at runtime.
We are seeking an experienced team lead to head our bleeding-edge compiler team. In this high-visibility, hands-on role, you will play a pivotal part in building NextSilicon’s next-generation runtime compiler.
This role is based in Brno. You will lead a local team of MLIR compiler engineers, consisting of individuals with MSc and PhD qualifications, while collaborating closely with remote peers located in Zurich and Israel.
