OverviewFlux Computing designs and manufactures optical processors to train and run inference on large AI models. We are seeking a highly experienced Compiler Engineer (contractor) for a 6-month engagement outside IR-35 to work on our ML Backend and functional simulator for our next-generation OTPUs with our permanent team. Your mandate will be to deliver a production-ready ML backend (compiler, runtime, debugger) and functional simulator that can accurately run most large AI models.

Responsibilities

Implement Runtime: Build a runtime that seamlessly integrates with PyTorch, JAX, and TensorFlow (PJRT) for both training and inference execution patterns. The runtime must support asynchronous execution and multiple devices.

Implement Compiler: Build a compiler that is extensible to future optimisation patterns across operation fusion, layout optimisation, tiling, and scheduling.

Implement Debugger and Diagnostics: Support optional runtime assertions and compile-time dumps, tensorboard timelines, and JAX I/O callbacks.

Implement Functional Simulator: Build a functional simulator that mocks our kernel-space driver, allowing the software team to lower operations ahead of hardware teams.
