What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Compiler, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Compiler Engineer, you need a strong background in computer science, programming languages, and compiler theory, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with tools like LLVM, GCC, and experience with languages such as C/C++ or Rust are typically required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication are essential soft skills in this field. These skills ensure the development of efficient, reliable compilers that support robust software and systems development.

What are the common challenges faced when working as a Compiler Engineer, and how can they be addressed?

Compiler Engineers often encounter challenges such as optimizing code for performance, ensuring compatibility across various hardware architectures, and maintaining the correctness of complex transformations. Debugging and diagnosing issues in the compilation process can be particularly intricate, requiring a strong understanding of both source and target languages. Collaborating closely with language designers and hardware engineers, as well as utilizing automated testing and profiling tools, helps address these challenges and results in more robust and efficient compilers.

What is a compiler?

A compiler is a specialized computer program that translates source code written in a high-level programming language into machine code or another lower-level language that a computer can execute. This process allows developers to write code in languages like C++, Java, or Python, which are easier for humans to understand, and then have it converted into instructions that hardware can process. Compilers perform various tasks such as syntax analysis, optimization, and code generation to ensure the resulting program runs efficiently and correctly.

What is the difference between Compiler vs Interpreter?

AspectCompilerInterpreter
FunctionTranslates entire code into machine language before executionTranslates code line-by-line during execution
SpeedFaster execution after compilationSlower due to real-time translation
UsageUsed in languages like C, C++Used in languages like Python, JavaScript
ErrorsErrors are found after compilationErrors are detected during execution
OutputProduces standalone executable filesRuns 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

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
Help push the boundaries of what can run on our accelerator. You'll design compiler IRs and lowering strategies to support algorithmic workloads with irregular or dynamic control flow-loops, branches, and iterative methods-going beyond static neural networks. Working side by side with hardware engineers, you'll influence ISA and execution model co-design to unlock new algorithm classes on analog and digital subsystems. The result: a compiler that makes complex algorithms practical to deploy while staying seamless for developers.
Here's what you will do
  • Extend compiler IRs to represent algorithms not easily captured in DNN graphs including control flow and iterative computation
  • Develop compilation strategies that unify analog compute with digital subsystems while maintaining performance and correctness
  • Prototype and optimize algorithms with irregular or dynamic control flow in compiler IRs, applying techniques such as vectorization, predication, and scheduling
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to co-design ISA and features that improve support for algorithmic workloads
  • Define a roadmap for higher-level programming abstractions that simplify prototyping and accelerate deployment
Here's the background we hope you will have
  • 3+ years of professional experience in compilers or high-performance systems software
  • Proficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) and Python
  • Familiarity with compiler IRs (e.g., MLIR, LLVM, or equivalent) and their use representing complex program structures
  • Solid foundation in program analysis and optimization techniques (e.g., SSA form, loop optimizations, vectorization)
The following would be nice to have, but is not required
  • Hands-on experience developing MLIR or LLVM dialects for control flow (e.g. scf, cf) or affine/polyhedral representations.
  • Background in compiler-hardware co-design: working with hardware designers to refine ISA or execution models for efficiency
  • Proven ability to prototype irregular or control-flow algorithms in compiler IRs and optimize them for performance and resource constraints
  • Experience extending ML compiler stacks (ONNX, IREE, XLA, PyTorch, TVM) to support workloads beyond DNNs
What we offer
  • The opportunity to make algorithmic and control-flow-heavy workloads practical on novel accelerator hardware.
  • A role that bridges compiler design and hardware co-design, shaping both the IR and the accelerator architecture.
  • A collaborative, innovative team that values engineering rigor, continuous integration, and user-focused design.
  • Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package.
At Mythic, we foster a collaborative and respectful environment where people can do their best work. We hire smart, capable individuals, provide the tools and support they need, and trust them to deliver. Our team brings a wide range of experiences and perspectives, which we see as a strength in solving hard problems together. We value professionalism, creativity, and integrity, and strive to make Mythic a place where every employee feels they belong and can contribute meaningfully.
