Compiler Frontend Engineer
Normal Computing Corporation, Mountain View +1
About the job
Normal computing | build with us
Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), and London.
The role
Normal's hardware runs the most memory-bound parts of large-model inference inside memory itself, rather than shuttling weights to a processor. The software that makes this programmable doesn't exist yet in any standard form. Our compiler is how models reach that hardware, and new LLM architectures show up faster than most compilers can track. A new attention variant, MoE routing scheme, or quantization approach has to be represented faithfully in our compiler before it can run, let alone run fast. As a Compiler Engineer focused on frontend and model bring-up, you will extend our IR, ops, and lowering passes so new LLM architectures are supported before a customer asks for them.
