Senior Compiler Engineer in Cambridge

NVIDIA, Cambridge, England, United Kingdom is looking to hire a CPU Compiler Engineer for an exciting and fun role. We craft outstanding compilers that realise the potential of NVIDIA's CPUs designed for the world's largest AI and HPC workloads. Our compiler organisation makes its mark on every CPU, GPU, DPU and SoC product that NVIDIA builds. We need you to design, develop and help improve the upstream GNU Toolchain for NVIDIA's CPUs. These compilers are key for the performance of AI, HPC and other performance‑critical software deployed on NVIDIA Data Centres, on the cloud and at super‑computing centres around the world.

In this role you will solve critical problems working alongside an outstanding engineering team with vision in compiler technology and systems software. You will also be collaborating with relevant upstream projects and improving the state of the art.

What You Will Be Doing

• Work with a geographically distributed partner organisation to understand, modify and improve CPU compiler software at NVIDIA.
• Contribute new features and optimisation techniques targeting NVIDIA Grace CPUs engaging with upstream and open‑source communities.
• Develop compiler software that is optimised for performance.
• Be part of a team that is at the centre of AI, HPC and data‑centre technologies.
• Help in the development of next generation CPU micro‑architecture.

What We Need To See

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience.
• More than 12 years of experience with compiler development in a production environment.
• Knowledge of language front‑ends or compiler optimisation techniques and code generation modules.
• Strong hands‑on C++ programming skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Familiarity with CPU architectures such as Arm Architecture (AArch32, AArch64), RISC‑V, x86_64, PowerPC or DSPs and engaging with pre‑silicon compiler and toolchain contributions.
• A track record of working with industry standard compiler infrastructure such as the GNU Toolchain and familiarity with LLVM.
• Knowledge of AI algorithms, scientific HPC applications and related code optimisations.
• Meaningful contributions to free software and open‑source compiler communities.
