We're Building the Next Generation of Chips to Power AI. Join Us.

At Zetta, we're building the next NVIDIA. Our novel polymorphic chips are a generation ahead of anything on the market. We're essentially building the substrate that will power all future knowledge and scientific discovery.

Our XPU chips are state-of-the-art AI compute engines capable of reconfiguring themselves to optimize the dataflow of each model (training & inference) to be fast and efficient enough to support AGI, and eventually ASI, without requiring massive power infrastructure. Through our novel polymorphic architecture, we're achieving unprecedented performance gains over current SOTA GPUs while dramatically reducing energy consumption.

The team consists of exceptional engineers obsessed with pushing the boundaries of what's possible in computing and AI, and we're now seeking our next technical member!

You Are
  • Ready to go all-in and do the work of your life
  • Willing to be hardcore when pushing technical boundaries
  • A technical Powerhouse who loves working across the hardware-software boundary
  • Deeply passionate and obsessed with computing and AI
  • Hungry to build something that actually matters
Your Background (important in bold)
  • Background in Computer Science, Mathematics, or equivalent field
  • Experience building compilers and compiler tooling (C/C+, Rust)
  • Strong foundation in compiler frameworks (MLIR, LLVM, or similar)
  • Solid algorithmic fundamentals (graph algorithms, pattern matching, optimization problems)
  • Experience with compiler optimizations (graph fusion, operation fusion, novel optimization techniques)
  • Understanding of ML frameworks (JAX, PyTorch) and how they compile to hardware
  • Experience with Nix (package manager and language)
  • Work across the stack (high-level ML to low-level hardware optimization)
Huge Plus If
  • Open-source contributions to compiler projects (MLIR, LLVM, IREE, etc.)
  • Experience with StableHLO, XLA, or ML compilation pipelines
  • Background in numerical analysis or computational mathematics
  • Experience with custom hardware targets or accelerator backends
  • Autodidactic polymath with a strong mathematical background
  • Someone who doesn't fret when faced with near-impossible technical challenges
The Opportunity
  • Be one of the first employees shaping a revolutionary technology
  • Work directly with the founding team of exceptional engineers at our San Francisco HQ
  • Own critical decisions that will influence the future of AI compute
  • Grow into a technical leader as we scale
  • Highly competitive compensation and significant equity

This is THE chance to do the work of your life. The chance to build something that will be remembered. To go hardcore on a technical moonshot that will actually matter for over 100 to 1,000 years.
