About the role
Mirendil's standard text
Mirendil
Mirendil is a tech-first company focused on solving core bottlenecks that unlock step-change acceleration across science and technology. Our first goal is to democratize frontier AI R&D across scientific disciplines. We are building a frontier AI research company and training our own models end-to-end.
The Role
We are looking for an engineer to design, implement, and optimize custom ML kernels that bolster our model development stack. Your work will be deep in the system, combining hardware and software insights to optimize performance. Some example areas you might work on (not limited to):
- Design and implement custom performant ML kernels that work at scale
- Identify inefficiencies and optimize compute-intensive workloads to reduce memory bandwidth bottlenecks and improve hardware utilization
- Enable and validate low-precision arithmetic formats and contribute to related compiler or runtime stacks
If you're excited about working at the intersection of hardware and frontier AI research, we'd love to hear from you.
We offer a base salary of $300,000–$400,000 USD and a meaningful equity grant, depending on experience and background, along with competitive benefits.
