- BS, MS or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience with 8+ years of work experience.

- Experience with compiler development or a related academic project.

- Knowledge of Language Front-Ends or Compiler optimisation techniques and code generation modules.

- Strong hands-on C++ programming skills.

- Good CPU architecture and low-level performance analysis skills with hands-on experience of pre-Silicon hardware/software co-design.

- Excellent verbal and written communications skills.

Nice to Have:

- Knowledge of workload analysis and the ability to drive improvements in hardware, software, libraries, and compilers.

- Expertise with CPU architectures such as Arm Architecture (AArch32, AArch64), RISC-V, x86_64, PowerPC, or DSPs.

- A track record of working with industry-standard compiler infrastructure such as GCC, LLVM, or MLIR.
