Compiler Engineer

Own the toolchain for custom silicon - the LLVM/GCC back end, code generation and intrinsics that turn a new instruction set or accelerator into something software can actually use.

Full time10+ yearsBengaluru, India · United States

THE WORK

What the role involves.

• Build and extend LLVM/GCC back ends for custom ISAs, DSPs and accelerators - instruction selection, scheduling, register allocation and ABI.
• Co-design the instruction set and programming model with the architecture team - what the hardware should expose for the compiler to exploit.
• Write intrinsics, runtime and libraries, and tune code generation for performance, code size and power on the target.
• Own correctness and performance of the generated code - test suites, benchmarks and bring-up against the real silicon or its model.
