Compiler Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

The era of pervasive AI has arrived. In this era, organizations will use generative AI to unlock hidden value in their data, accelerate processes, reduce costs, drive efficiency and innovation to fundamentally transform their businesses and operations at scale.

SambaNova Suite™ is the first full-stack, generative AI platform, from chip to model, optimized for enterprise and government organizations. Powered by the intelligent SN40L chip, the SambaNova Suite is a fully integrated platform, delivered on-premises or in the cloud, combined with state-of-the‑art open-source models that can be easily and securely fine‑tuned using customer data for greater accuracy. Once adapted with customer data, customers retain model ownership in perpetuity, so they can turn generative AI into one of their most valuable assets.

The compiler team at SambaNova powers the DPU through a unique compilation strategy. By fusing kernels into dataflow graphs that run across the entire accelerator architecture, we avoid sequential kernel launches and eliminate the memory traffic that bottlenecks conventional hardware. This is a key differentiator and unlike any other product on the market.

As a Senior Principal Compiler Engineer you'll lead critical areas of our compiler including the IR and pass infrastructure, model lowering and partitioning, tensor tiling, memory management, and mapping operations onto the fabric. You'll operate in a tightly coupled environment, influencing hardware design to optimize performance, and bring the technical judgement, cross functional diplomacy, foresight, and low-level programming depth that integrated system design demands. You'll work with senior team members to ensure career growth and engagement, mentor and develop early career talent, actively recruit for the organization, and participate in interviews.
