Job description

At Groq. We believe in an AI economy powered by human agency. We envision a world where AI is accessible to all, a world that demands processing power that is better, faster, and more affordable than is available today. AI applications are currently constrained by the limitations of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a technology originally developed for the gaming market and soon to become the weakest link in the AI economy.

Enter Groq's LPU™ AI Inference Technology. Specifically engineered for the demands of large language models (LLMs), the Language Processing Unit outpaces the GPU in speed, power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The quickest way to understand the opportunity is to watch the following talk – groq.link/scspdemo.

Why join Groq? AI will change humanity forever, and we believe preservation of human agency and self determination is only possible if AI is made affordably and universally accessible. Groq’s LPUs will power AI from an early stage, and you will get to leave your fingerprint on civilization.

Manage large multi-person and multi-geo projects and interface with various leads across the company
Mentor junior compiler engineers and collaborate with other senior compiler engineers on the team.
Review and accept code updates to compiler passes and IR definitions.
Work with HW teams and architects to drive improvements in architecture and SW compiler
Publish novel compilation techniques to Groq's TSP at top-tier ML, Compiler, and Computer Architecture conferences.

QUALIFICATIONS:

10+ years of experience in the area of computer science/engineering or related
5+ years of direct experience with C/C++ and LLVM or compiler frameworks
Knowledge of spatial architectures such as FPGA or CGRAs an asset
Knowledge of functional programming an asset
Experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch desired
