About the role
<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p>Join Tenstorrent’s AI Models team and work at the layer most ML engineers never see: bringing advanced models to life on custom AI hardware. You’ll own real workloads end‑to‑end including porting, tuning, and validating LLMs and vision models on our accelerator, and chasing down every last millisecond and percentage point of accuracy. This role is for people who love the craft of ML engineering and want their work to matter at silicon scale, not just behind another API.</p> <p>This role is<strong> </strong>hybrid<strong>,</strong>&nbsp;based in Cyprus.</p> <p>We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p data-start="403" data-end="420"><strong data-start="403" data-end="418">Who You Are</strong></p> <ul> <li data-start="770" data-end="863">Bring up, run, and debug modern ML models (e.g., transformers) using PyTorch or TensorFlow.</li> <li data-start="770" data-end="863">Analyze model behavior and performance, and identify bottlenecks across the stack.</li> <li data-start="770" data-end="863">Improve efficiency, correctness, and scalability of model execution in real systems.</li> <li data-start="770" data-end="863">Work closely with compiler, kernel, and hardware teams to drive performance and system-level improvements.</li> <li data-start="770" data-end="863">Help translate state-of-the-art model architectures into production-grade, high-performance deployments.</li> </ul> <p data-start="930" data-end="948"><strong data-start="930" data-end="946">What We Need</strong></p> <ul> <li data-start="1285" data-end="1366">Strong experience building and working with ML models in PyTorch or TensorFlow.</li> <li data-start="1285" d
