Software Engineer, Acceleration Kernel Development

Tenstorrent is hiring a Software Engineer on its Acceleration Kernel Development team to build and optimize low-level software for high-efficiency machine learning workloads. The role focuses on kernel performance, production integration, and maintaining a fast, reliable software stack.

Responsibilities:

• You’ll be writing low-level code that directly powers high-efficiency machine learning workloads, optimizing every cycle, every memory move, every instruction
• A collaborative mindset to work closely with ML engineers and integrate optimizations into production
• Ownership of debugging, profiling, and maintaining a fast, reliable low-level software stack

Requirements:

• A developer who loves high performance code, parallel algorithms, wrangling bits, optimizing compute, and making hardware fly
• Great in C/C++ and able to build fast, efficient code from the ground up
• Obsessed with performance and precision, especially in ML workloads
• Motivated by complex problems and thrives in collaborative, fast-moving environments
• Expertise in building and optimizing compute kernels for parallel ML and high-performance workloads
• Ability to analyze and tune instruction-level performance across latency, memory, and bandwidth
• A collaborative mindset to work closely with ML engineers and integrate optimizations into production
• Ownership of debugging, profiling, and maintaining a fast, reliable low-level software stack
• The applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency
