Senior Compiler Engineer

What you'll be doing:

• Design, implement and optimise compiler infrastructure, intermediate representations, optimisation passes and code generation.
• Maintain and evolve our bespoke Python DSL used by researchers to construct pulse-level quantum programs.
• Build high-performance software using Python and C++.
• Work closely with researchers to translate experimental algorithms into production-quality compiler capabilities.
• Run experiments on quantum hardware to validate compiler outputs end-to-end.
• Influence technical direction, mentor other engineers and drive engineering best practices.

Ideally you'll have:

• Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
• Experience with LLVM, particularly MLIR.
• Experience implementing language tooling, parsers or DSLs.
• Significant experience designing production compiler systems.
• Experience with compiler architectures, intermediate representations, optimisation passes and code generation.
• Experience with FPGA development (Verilog, VHDL or HLS).
• Strong understanding of systems programming and software architecture.

Bonus points (not essential, but exciting if you bring them!):

• Experience with quantum control systems or pulse-level programming.
• Experience with experimental characterisation of superconducting or semiconductor spin qubits.
• Experience with RF signal processing concepts such as IQ modulation.
• Experience using laboratory instrumentation (AWGs, digitisers, oscilloscopes, SCPI-controlled instruments).
