About the role

  • Join us in advancing the MLIR ecosystem at Mythic.
  • Working closely with hardware engineers and ML developers, your work will expand interoperability with PyTorch and other frameworks, laying the groundwork for long-term innovation.
  • The result: an MLIR-based stack that unifies hardware constraints with developer needs and accelerates adoption of modern ecosystems.

Responsibilities

  • You'll help extend our existing high-level dialects and design a new hardware-aware low-level dialect, building conversion paths that bridge to our current IRs.
  • Build conversion paths between MLIR and Mythic's custom low-level IR to keep both flows operational during migration.
  • Collaborate with a team spanning hardware, runtime, and compiler design.
  • We hire smart, capable individuals, provide the tools and support they need, and trust them to deliver.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with PyTorch compiler technologies, especially Torch-MLIR and integration paths with PyTorch 2.0 (TorchDynamo, TorchInductor).
  • Knowledge of dataflow architectures, scheduling, and memory orchestration.

Nice to have

  • Architect the migration of the existing compiler flow into MLIR, defining dialects, passes, and lowering strategies.
  • Define validation infrastructure within MLIR, including interpretation or execution paths for simulation and debugging.
  • Enable compilation by extending MLIR integration across analog accelerators and digital subsystems.
  • Leverage Torch-MLIR where PyTorch inputs are available, and guide future integration with PyTorch 2.0 compiler technologies (TorchInductor, TorchDynamo, Torch-MLIR)
  • 3+ years of experience in compiler or high-performance systems development.
  • Proficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) and Python.
  • Direct, hands-on experience with MLIR, including dialect design, compiler passes, or lowering pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of compiler IRs and transformations, with the ability to reason about lowering from high-level ops to hardware-aware representations.

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
