What is a compiler?
What is the difference between Compiler vs Interpreter?
| Aspect | Compiler | Interpreter |
|---|---|---|
| Function | Translates entire code into machine language before execution | Translates code line-by-line during execution |
| Speed | Faster execution after compilation | Slower due to real-time translation |
| Usage | Used in languages like C, C++ | Used in languages like Python, JavaScript |
| Errors | Errors are found after compilation | Errors are detected during execution |
| Output | Produces standalone executable files | Runs directly from source code |
In summary, a compiler translates the entire program into machine code before execution, resulting in faster runtime and standalone files. An interpreter translates code line-by-line during execution, which can be slower but allows for easier debugging and dynamic execution. Both are essential in different programming environments depending on performance and development needs.

Job description
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Familiarity with heterogeneous compilation, especially mixing custom accelerators with CPUs/GPUs/NPUs, and exposure to analog or in-memory compute is a plus
- Experience collaborating in compiler-hardware co-design (architecture + ISA) for better compiler usability and hardware efficiency
- The opportunity to shape how deep learning and LLM workloads are compiled on novel hardware.
- A role that spans software and hardware co-design, shaping both the compiler and the accelerator architecture
- A collaborative, innovative team that values engineering rigor, continuous integration, and user-focused design. We foster an environment of shared learning and technical excellence
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package
