Competitive Salary + Significant Equity

A rare opportunity to help shape the future of CPU performance for AI. Join an ambitious stealth mode start-up who are developing a custom CPU designed to overcome the limitations of today’s processors.

This is a hands-on applications and performance engineering leadership role. You’ll work directly with the CTO and CPU team, analysing real-world AI workloads, profiling performance on existing silicon and translating the findings into architectural improvements.

Responsibilities:

• Build and lead the applications engineering team whilst remaining hands-on.
• Analyse AI and data centre workloads to identify CPU performance bottlenecks.
• Benchmark workloads on existing silicon in the marketplace.
• Engage with leading AI labs, hyperscalers and infrastructure teams.

Requirements:

• Relevant technical degree, or equivalent, in electronic engineering.
• Strong understanding of CPU performance and data centre software stacks.
• Experience working with AI Labs and hyperscalers.
• Good knowledge of compilers a definite plus.

If you are interested in defining a new CPU architecture from the ground up, working directly with world-class engineers and taking ownership of a critical function at an early stage — get in touch with Rebecca at IC Resources for more information.
