Sr. Staff Engineer, RISC-V Software Workload Enablement
Tenstorrent Remote, Oregon
Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities. We are looking for a highly technical Senior Staff/Principal Engineer to lead the porting and enablement of critical AI workloads. You will be a primary driver in migrating compute workloads to RISC-V architectures, ensuring our hardware is optimized for real-world application performance. The ideal candidate has a strong background in DevOps, workload porting, or application enablement .
