Compiler Engineer - Machine Learning Compiler

About the role

About us

Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications—whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from –40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.

We’ve raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.

About the role

Join us in building the next generation of AI compilers. You’ll play a key role in developing the compiler for our novel AI accelerator, working side-by-side with hardware engineers and ML researchers. Your work will shape how deep learning workloads run on cutting-edge dataflow hardware—defining the instruction set, execution model, and developer experience. The result: a compiler that delivers breakthrough performance while remaining seamless and intuitive for ML developers.

Here's what you will do - Contribute across the full compiler stack, including operator lowering, graph/IR transformations, optimization passes, and backend code generation

- Optimize for dataflow architectures, developing pipelined schedules, memory orchestration, and resource-constrained execution strategies

- Collaborate with hardware architects to influence architectural features, ensuring the compiler and hardware evolve together

- Develop compilation strategies that unify our analog compute with digital subsystems

- Build and maintain a compiler that produces high-performance binaries with strong debugging support, clear error messages, and predictable performance models

Here's the background we hope you will have - 3+ years of experience building compilers or high-performance systems software, especially those involving complex resource management or optimization.

- Expert in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) and strong Python.

- Experience with compiler IRs (SSA-based or graph-based), transformations, and code generation

- Exposure to specialized accelerators (GPU, NPU, FPGA, or custom ASIC) or parallel architectures

The following would be nice to have, but is not required - Experience with machine learning compiler stacks (e.g., ONNX, MLIR, TVM, XLA, IREE, PyTorch), with contributions to MLIR or LLVM projects a plus

- Experience with optimization methods (LP/MIP, CP, SAT/SMT) using solvers like Gurobi or OR-Tools for scheduling and resource allocation

- Experience compiling for specialized accelerators (GPU, NPU, FPGA, or custom ASIC) on DNN workloads; GPU/DSP experience is valuable if combined with compiler backend work beyond kernel tuning
