Company

A technology company developing silicon products, compilers, libraries, and programming tools for CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators.

What you will do

• Design and implement offloading infrastructure within open-source and closed-source compiler stacks.
• Develop binary formats, device code generation, and next-generation offloading models.
• Enable heterogeneous computing across CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators.
• Collaborate with LLVM and SYCL communities on upstream development.
• Partner with compiler, runtime, performance, and platform teams to deliver production-ready solutions.
• Take technical ownership of complex systems and ambiguous problem spaces.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 3+ years of experience, or a relevant master’s degree.
• Strong experience with C/C++, object-oriented programming, and data structures.
• Open-source development experience, including contributions to LLVM, SYCL, or similar projects.
• Foundational knowledge of compiler concepts, including frontend parsing, IR transformation, code generation, and linking.
• Understanding of heterogeneous computing, CPU/GPU programming, offloading models, and accelerator architectures.
• Ability to work under the hybrid model in Toronto, Canada.

Nice to have
