I’m supporting a well-funded UK deep-tech company developing a proprietary photonic computing platform for high-performance, privacy-preserving workloads.
They’re looking for a Senior or Principal Compiler Engineer to help build a new compiler stack targeting their novel hardware architecture. You’ll work across compilers, machine-learning frameworks and hardware, translating high-level workloads into efficient code for a proprietary execution target.
What you’ll be doing:

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Designing and implementing core components of a greenfield compiler stack
- Developing intermediate representations, lowering pipelines and transformation passes
- Building hardware-aware compiler optimisations
- Integrating with technologies such as Google HEIR, PyTorch and ONNX Runtime
- Translating high-level workloads into efficient code for a novel accelerator
- Working closely with hardware, simulation, cryptography and algorithms engineers
- Benchmarking, profiling and debugging generated workloads
- Influencing the technical direction and architecture of a growing software platform
What they’re looking for:
- Strong professional experience with modern C++
- Hands-on compiler development experience at the IR, middle-end or back-end level
- Experience with MLIR, LLVM IR or another compiler/framework intermediate representation
- Knowledge of compiler passes, lowering, optimisation and code generation
- Experience targeting a processor, accelerator or custom architecture
- An interest in hardware-software co-design and building production-quality systems
