Ingénieur software (F/H) (IT)

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. As a Software Engineer on the Metal Runtime team at Tenstorrent, you’ll work on the low-level software that powers our AI accelerators. You’ll design fast, efficient runtime systems that run close to the hardware, and define the host and device APIs that expose these capabilities to the rest of the software stack. We believe APIs are a core part of systems design: they encode hardware semantics, performance tradeoffs, and concurrency models, and they live longer than any single implementation.

If you enjoy pushing performance, working close to the metal, and designing abstractions that make complex systems usable without sacrificing control, this is your kind of role.

Strong coder in C or C++, and enjoy working close to hardware.

Think about long-term maintainability, usability, and clarity when designing systems.

Curious about how runtimes and bare-metal software come together to power AI.

Translate low-level hardware behavior into intuitive, high-performance abstractions.

Collaborate closely with runtime, kernel, and higher-level software teams to align API design with real-world usage.

Ensure APIs balance performance, control, safety, and ease of use.

Contribute to runtime implementation where needed to support API design and integration.

Debug, analyze, and improve usability and performance across the software stack.

Experience designing or evolving non-trivial C++ APIs used by other engineers.

How to design APIs and abstractions for cutting-edge AI hardware.

How to balance performance, control, and usability in low-level system design.

Best practices for building maintainable, high-performance systems software.

How software and hardware co-evolve in a fast-paced AI startup.

S. export-controlled technology. S. export laws, including those codified in the U.Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.Commerce Department or applicable federal agency.
