Success in this role requires deep ML experience, full-stack technical understanding, and the ability to turn emerging research into practical tools.
Who You Are
- A senior engineer with experience across the ML stack, including model design, training, fine-tuning, and evaluation
- Comfortable fine-tuning LLMs, building RAG pipelines, and customizing open-source models to support engineering workflows
- Skilled in C++ and Python, with experience in AI frameworks, compiler toolchains, and performance-critical systems
- Motivated by the potential of AI-assisted development and eager to apply it in real engineering environments
What We Need
- Engineers who understand how AI tools can accelerate development across the full Tenstorrent stack, from TT-MLIR and Metal to system scripting and model workflows
- Contributors who can fine-tune and deploy AI agents that assist with writing, debugging, and optimizing production code
- Builders who can benchmark tools, measure real-world impact, and make data-driven recommendations
- Collaborators who can guide adoption, build internal tooling, and support best practices across engineering teams
What You Will Learn
- Techniques for integrating AI-assisted development into real compiler, kernel, and infrastructure workflows
- Best practices for fine-tuning LLMs and building custom pipelines that align with engineering use cases
- The broader impact of AI tooling across full-stack software development, from low-level systems to high-level ML
- How Tenstorrent is building an AI-first engineering culture through practical, developer-focused innovation
Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.
Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.
This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
