Company

hirify.global develops hardware and compute systems designed to run AI models efficiently and improve AI quality and availability.

What you will do

• Own micro-architecture and RTL for compute-subsystem blocks from architecture through sign-off-ready design.
• Contribute to a scalable silicon architecture-to-design methodology across blocks, subsystems, and full-chip design.
• Own subsystems, subsets, or chip-level silicon design deliverables through design freeze and tapeout.
• Plan and drive micro-architecture, design-specification, execution-progress, area-closure, and timing-closure reviews.
• Collaborate with verification, DFT, and physical-design co-owners to deliver high-performance, power-efficient, area-efficient designs.
• Test designs and work toward performance and coverage closure, including synthesis, lint, and sign-off flows.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of silicon design experience.
• Tape-out experience with end-to-end ownership of chip designs through multiple generations.
• Production-proven experience with silicon micro-architecture and design for high-performance compute, including CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, high-speed connectivity, and memory management.
• Ability and willingness to ramp up on Bluespec, the functionally rooted HDL used for the designs.
• Experience with SystemVerilog, Python, C/C++, and similar scripting or programming languages for chip design and related flows.
• Experience testing designs and collaborating with verification teams toward performance and coverage closure.
• Hands-on experience with design synthesis, design lint, and related flows for high-quality sign-off.
• Experience designing ML arithmetic and compute datapaths, including matmul or systolic MAC arrays, reduction trees, and floating-point or special-function units such as MuFu.
• Experience with logic for moving, storing, or managing data, including caches, buffers, and crossbars.

Nice to have

• Prior Bluespec experience.
• Familiarity with functional-programming paradigms such as Haskell.
• Familiarity with verification and emulation platforms and methodologies.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time employment with four weeks of accrued PTO, 12 company holidays, and up to three weeks of remote work.
• Company-subsidized medical, dental, vision, life, HSA, FSA, long-term disability, and travel insurance options.
• Roth or pre-tax 401(k) with a 5% company contribution, plus paid life insurance.
• $1,500 annual professional-development budget, onsite team meals Monday through Friday, and full daily commute support.
• Monthly perks, cellular and internet reimbursements, and up to $1,000 for remote home-office setup.
• Paid mental-health benefits, up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave, pregnancy disability leave, flexible return-to-work hours, and a $6,000 family fund.
