Job Description
Senior Software Engineer - Ai Inference
Cambridge, UK – Hybrid
£80,000 - £90,000
About the Role
Join a pioneering AI hardware innovator as a Senior Software Engineer and redefine how machine learning workloads run on cutting-edge FPGA-based accelerators. You’ll architect systems that push the boundaries of latency and efficiency, shaping everything from hardware instruction sets to compiler design and high-performance application APIs. If you thrive on solving complex systems challenges and want to impact the future of sustainable AI, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
* Co-design accelerator instruction sets with hardware engineers to optimize ML inference.
* Build compilers, DSLs, and tools for debugging/profiling programs on bespoke accelerators.
* Develop ultra-efficient runtime libraries and APIs to bridge ML frameworks with accelerator hardware.
* Collaborate across teams to solve end-to-end performance challenges in AI inference stacks.
Tech Stack & Focus
* Rust-first development (performance-critical systems, type-safety, modern tooling).
* Low-level systems programming (CPU/accelerator interaction, memory management).
* Compiler design, functional programming concepts, and hardware/software co-design.
We’re Excited If You Have
* 3+ years in systems programming, compiler development, or performance-critical software.
* Proficiency in Rust (production or open-source projects) or expertise in C/C++/Haskell/OCaml.
* A passion for novel architectures and optimizing code for unconventional hardware.
* Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative, critical-thinking mindset.
