About Fractile Fractile was founded in 2022 on the bet that, eventually, the world's most capable AI systems would be limited in their impact by the time taken to produce useful outputs. We bet everything on the logical conclusion: that the only way to truly unlock this latent value, to make speed viable at scale, was to radically re-invent the hardware that we run our frontier AI models on. Ever since, we have been building chips and systems that tackle this problem: how to efficiently generate output at thousands of tokens per second, while handling the complexity and capacity challenges of operating large models at very long contexts. The workloads that push to the limits of the current frontier are already transformational; it is the technical and economic limits on inference speed that are constraining progress. The defining work of the 21st century will be marked by the engine of inference delivering immense and diffuse chains of intellectual inquiry, in drug discovery, in software engineering, in materials discovery, in any field where progress is driven by deep reasoning and intelligence to resolve complex problems. The role Fractile is building a full-stack AI accelerator from the ground up, and the compiler team sits at the heart of how we deliver performance. As the Engineering Manager for Compilers, you will build and lead a team of 10+ engineers developing the compiler stack for our novel AI acceleration hardware, with direct responsibility for enabling industry-leading LLM inference performance on Fractile's accelerators. This is a hands-on technical leadership role in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where the compiler team works closely with hardware, driver, runtime and ML engineers across the stack. If you want to shape the architecture of a compiler from first principles, build a world-class team around it, and have your work directly determine the performance of next-generation AI hardware, this is the role. What we're looking for: Proven track record of leadership experience managing a high-performance development team and delivering consistently outstanding outcomes. Proven experience in compiler development, with experience of machine learning compilers and industry standard technologies such as MLIR or TVM being a significant advantage. Up-to-date knowledge of machine learning techniques and technologies A good understanding of computer architecture and performance optimisation techniques. Excellent C/C++ skills and solid experience of industry standard development tools and technologies. A creative and innovative mindset, and a willingness to take ownership and drive results in a fast-paced environment. What you're signing up for: This is a young company doing hard things, at the intersection of novel silicon and the software stack that makes it useful. You'll be building and leading a compiler team as the hardware it targets is still taking shape, which means making architectural decisions against a specification first, then a simulator, then early silicon. The IR design, the lowering strategy, the execution model: you'll help define all of it before you can run it on real hardware. That takes comfort with ambiguity and the ability to make good calls with incomplete information. If that sounds frustrating, this probably isn't the role. If that sounds like the interesting part, we should talk. The boundaries here are soft by design. The compiler team works closely with hardware architects, kernel engineers, runtime teams and ML researchers. You'll need to understand enough of what sits above and below your layer to make good decisions at the boundary, and to build a team that can do the same. That breadth is a feature of the job, not a distraction from it. You'll be there when the first model runs end to end on Fractile silicon. When the lowering strategy you helped design produces a result the hardware team didn't think was possible yet. When the team you hired and grew ships something that goes into every rack we sell. We want a team that reflects the world it's building for, and we welcome applicants from every background, including those whose path here hasn't been straight. We care that you're energised by this kind of work, that you build and develop great engineers, and that you make the people around you better. Come build it with us. What We Offer Competitive salary: A competitive salary reflective of your experience and the specialist nature of the role. Equity & Ownership: meaningful equity so everyone shares in the value creation Benefits: Private Medical, Dental and Vision, Contributory Pension, 25 Days holiday plus bank holidays and Life/Critical Illness Insurance. Diverse & fun office: we believe the hardest problems get solved by the broadest range of minds.

About the Software organisation at Fractile PerfSim sits within the Software organisation at Fractile, which is responsible for developing a full software stack for our groundbreaking AI inference systems. That's everything from ML compilers, device drivers and systems firmware, application level runtime and ecosystem integrations, ML and compute libraries, great developer tooling and a full portfolio of simulators, through to datacenter scale workload deployment solutions. At Fractile, we know that a fantastic software stack is a critical and central part of any AI inference solution and it sits at the heart of everything we're doing. About the team and role To build hardware that doesn't yet exist, you first have to model it — with precision, depth, and an eye for the trade-offs that matter. At Fractile, high-fidelity pre-silicon models shape our architecture, performance, and product design long before hardware exists. The Simulation team includes C++ and SystemC specialists, verification and validation engineers, system architects, and embedded engineers. This is not a support function — it is the group that defines how Fractile's hardware behaves. As a Modelling Engineer you will develop the pre-silicon models of Fractile's AI acceleration hardware, enabling architectural exploration and definition, functional modelling, performance modelling and bottleneck analysis, and early software development on virtual platforms. You will work closely with hardware, software, and ML teams in a true hardware–software co-design loop. About you You have a genuine curiosity for hard problems and the depth to operate across architecture, performance, and functional correctness. You understand that the models you build will shape the architecture of Fractile's accelerator, determine performance trade-offs, enable early runtime and compiler development, unblock software teams months before silicon exists, and reduce risk across the entire product lifecycle. You take that responsibility seriously and bring the rigour it demands.

About Fractile Fractile was founded in 2022 on the bet that, eventually, the world's most capable AI systems would be limited in their impact by the time taken to produce useful outputs. We bet everything on the logical conclusion: that the only way to truly unlock this latent value, to make speed viable at scale, was to radically re-invent the hardware that we run our frontier AI models on. Ever since, we have been building chips and systems that tackle this problem: how to efficiently generate output at thousands of tokens per second, while handling the complexity and capacity challenges of operating large models at very long contexts. The workloads that push to the limits of the current frontier are already transformational; it is the technical and economic limits on inference speed that are constraining progress. The defining work of the 21st century will be marked by the engine of inference delivering immense and diffuse chains of intellectual inquiry, in drug discovery, in software engineering, in materials discovery, in any field where progress is driven by deep reasoning and intelligence to resolve complex problems. About the Hardware organisation at Fractile System Architecture sits within the Hardware organisation at Fractile, responsible for designing the chips and systems that power our groundbreaking AI inference accelerator. That's everything from chip-level architecture and interconnects, through board design and thermal management, to full system integration and bring-up. At Fractile, we know that world-class system architecture is the foundation every other part of the stack is built on. About the team and role The System Architecture team at Fractile defines how our hardware comes together — from chip interfaces and interconnects through to board design, thermal management, and system-level integration — working closely with digital design, verification, firmware and software teams to make sure architecture choices translate cleanly into working silicon and reliable hardware platforms. As an Early Career System Architect, you'll support senior architects in defining and refining this architecture, and get hands-on exposure to early prototyping, bring-up, and system testing as ideas become real hardware. About you We're looking for someone early in their career with a strong foundation in digital systems and computer architecture, gained through a degree, internships, or personal projects, who is genuinely curious about how complex hardware systems are taken from concept through to production. You'll be comfortable working across disciplines — hardware, firmware, and software — and keen to learn fast in a fast-moving environment. Key Requirements A degree (or final-year study) in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field Exposure to system-level design concepts — power, thermal, I/O, memory, or interconnect architectures — through academic projects, internships, or personal projects Some familiarity with digital design flows, gained through coursework, internships, or personal projects Comfortable working across disciplines — hardware, firmware, and software Strong communicator, able to explain technical ideas clearly to others Desirable: exposure to AI acceleration, HPC, or data-centric architectures; hands-on FPGA prototyping or hardware bring-up; familiarity with SystemC or MATLAB What We Offer Competitive salary: A competitive salary reflective of your experience and the specialist nature of the role.

About the Hardware organisation at Fractile SoC Architecture sits within Fractile's hardware organisation, which owns everything from full-chip architecture definition through memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects, and the path from early architectural exploration through to tapeout and post-silicon validation. Architecture at Fractile isn't a paper exercise — it's built in constant collaboration with logical design, physical design, and verification teams, so that every architectural decision is grounded in what will actually perform in working silicon. About the team and role As an Early Career SoC Architect, you'll join our architecture team to learn how our compute engines, memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects and I/O come together into a single coherent chip. Working closely with senior architects and our logical design, physical design, and verification teams, you'll get real exposure to full-chip performance modelling, specification writing, cross-block trade-off analysis, and pre- and post-silicon validation — with experienced architects mentoring you as you build toward owning more of this yourself. About you We're looking for someone with a strong foundational understanding of computer or SoC architecture — built through coursework, personal projects, internships, placements, or research — who's genuinely curious about how compute, memory and interconnect choices trade off against each other at the full-chip level, and eager to learn how to navigate them. You don't need prior industry experience as an SoC Architect; what matters is real hands-on exposure to chip-level or system design, through a final-year project, FPGA build, RISC-V SoC implementation, internship, or research, plus a comfort working across disciplines and a track record of thriving in ambiguity and fast iteration. Key Requirements A degree (BEng, MEng, MSc or equivalent) in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience. A solid foundational understanding of SoC or computer architecture, including memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects, and how compute, memory and I/O blocks integrate into a coherent chip, gained through study, projects, internships, or research. Some exposure to RTL design concepts and how physical design constraints feed back into architectural choices — academic or internship-level experience is fine. Any hands-on exposure to architectural performance modelling tools (gem5, SystemC, or custom cycle-accurate simulators), interconnect/NoC design, compiler/toolchain interactions, or AI acceleration/vector-matrix compute, through study or projects, is highly valued. A clear communicator, comfortable working across architecture, modelling, implementation, verification, and software teams, who thrives in ambiguity and fast iteration.
