Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology,
revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With
AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations
in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our
diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from
scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI
platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to
solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of
all seniorities.
Join the team revolutionizing AI computing at Tenstorrent. You'll work on
TT-Forge, our MLIR-based compiler that enables developers to run AI on all
configurations of Tenstorrent hardware using an open-source, performant, and
general-purpose compiler. You will be at the forefront of the AI hardware
revolution, building compiler technologies that redefine what’s possible.
This role is hybrid, and can be based out of Santa Clara, CA; Austin, TX; or
Toronto; ON.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the
interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and
offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this
posting.
