Compiler Engineer (Senior/Principal)
£80k–£100k | UK Remote (travel to UK/US hubs)
We're working with a pioneering deep-tech company that's harnessing light to power the next generation of computing. Their photonics-based compute system is being built to tackle some of the toughest workloads out there - think AI at scale - and they're now building out the team that will make it all run.
That's where you come in. As a newly formed Architecture group takes shape, they need someone who can own the compiler tooling end-to-end - bridging real-world applications with genuinely novel hardware. This isn't tweaking an existing toolchain; it's specifying and building compiler technology for a computing paradigm that doesn't have a well-worn playbook yet.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be mentoring engineers, shaping how the system gets debugged and verified pre-tapeout, and directly influencing the metrics the whole team is judged on. If you've ever wanted to build a compiler for hardware that doesn't play by the usual rules, this is about as blank-canvas as it gets.
Sound like your kind of challenge? We'd love to hear from you.
