About d-Matrix

d-Matrix is redefining AI inference with memory-centric compute built for ultra-low latency, greater efficiency, and scalable AI infrastructure.

About the role

d-Matrix is hiring a Principal Software Engineer to define and build how we use AI-enabled automation across the software development lifecycle, from build and CI through testing and release. Our codebase spans a kernel compiler, firmware, device drivers, and an inference serving stack running on silicon we designed ourselves. Tests require real hardware, correctness is numerical rather than pass/fail, and failures can originate in any of several layers. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Exposure to compilers, firmware, or hardware-in-the-loop test environments
  • Experience building tool integrations with MCP or similar protocols
  • Experience working with GitLab, Jira, or Prometheus APIs
  • Experience managing cost and latency in LLM-based systems
  • Daily use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot, with well-formed opinions on where they help and where they do not
