Junior LLVM Engineer

We are looking

for a Junior LLVM Backend Engineer to join our compiler engineering team. In

this role, you will work on backend components of the compiler toolchain

targeting custom hardware architectures. You will have the opportunity to work

closely with experienced compiler engineers on LLVM IR transformations,

instruction selection, and backend optimizations to improve generated code

quality and performance.

This role is

ideal for candidates with a strong foundation in compiler design, C/C++, and

systems programming who are looking to build expertise in LLVM and compiler

backend development.

Responsibilities:

• Assist in developing and maintaining LLVM backend

components for custom or existing target architectures.

• Support implementation and enhancement of

instruction selection, code generation, and target-specific optimizations.

• Work on LLVM IR-level transformations and

optimization passes under guidance from senior engineers.

• Analyze generated assembly/code to identify

performance improvements and optimization opportunities.

• Debug compiler-related issues across different

stages of the compilation flow.

• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to

understand architecture-specific requirements.

• Contribute to testing, validation, and

benchmarking of compiler features and optimizations.

• Learn and contribute to LLVM-based development

workflows and internal compiler infrastructure.

Requirements

Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science,

Electronics, or a related field.

Technical Skills (Must haves):

• Good understanding of compiler design

fundamentals.

• Strong programming skills in C/C++.
• Basic understanding of LLVM architecture and

compiler pipelines.

• Familiarity with data structures, algorithms, and

operating system concepts.

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Willingness to learn and work on low-level

systems and compiler technologies.

Need to have (Can be bridged):

• No additional bridged skills were specifically

identified.

Good to have (Not essential):

• Exposure to assembly language or computer

architecture concepts.

• Familiarity with Linux development environments

and build systems.

Preferred Qualifications (Optional):

• Academic/project experience in compilers, LLVM,

operating systems, or systems programming.
