Software Engineer Intern, AI Compiler (Serbia)

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

At Tenstorrent, we believe the future of computing must be open, which is why our interns don’t just watch from the sidelines - they help build the core of it. We provide a "code-to-career" pipeline where students collaborate with industry experts to solve high-stakes problems in RISC-V and AI hardware-software co-design. By joining us, you are taking an internship to democratize high-performance computers that are accessible to everyone.

As an intern, you will experience how we do engineering for 3-6 months, working on a carefully defined and real engineering project, guided by a dedicated mentor and a manager, and as a part of a team.

This role is on-site, based in our Belgrade office.
