UK | £60,000 – £80,000 DOE | Full-time

Are you ready to help shape the next generation of AI hardware acceleration? This is an opportunity for a talented Senior Software Developer to design and build the software systems that power ultra-efficient machine learning inference workloads on cutting-edge FPGA-based hardware.

What you’ll do:

• Develop the entire software stack that programs bespoke hardware accelerators — from co-designing instruction sets with hardware engineers to building compilers, DSLs, and APIs that bridge AI models and frameworks.
• Write efficient applications and runtime libraries for server CPUs that leverage these accelerators.
• Create powerful tools for debugging, profiling, and optimising workloads to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

About you:

• Master’s or PhD in a relevant scientific or engineering field.
• Proven experience using Rust in production or open source projects.
• Strong background in low-level languages (Rust, C, C++) or functional programming (Haskell, OCaml, Nix).
• 3+ years’ experience in performance-sensitive or systems programming and compiler development.
• Enthusiastic about tackling the challenges of programming novel processor architectures.
• Detail-oriented with good communication skills.

Why join?

You’ll work alongside world-class engineers to push the boundaries of AI acceleration technology — and see your work have real impact across the stack.
