NUVACORE builds for the stratosphere. Maximum performance. Absolute area efficiency. No compromise. A general-purpose CPU core designed to excel everywhere, from core infrastructure to advanced AI systems, including the continuous demands of agentic computing. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
Build System Architecture: Design and own the build system that turns a large, hierarchical RTL and verification codebase into reproducible, incremental, cacheable builds. We use Buck2; you'll own the rule set, the dependency model, and the remote-execution and caching strategy as the design grows. Continuous Integration: Design the pipelines that gate design changes, with a particular focus on build and test selection, so each change runs the smallest set of long-running tests that can catch its regressions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience designing and implementing complex build systems with hierarchical dependencies: dependency graphs, incrementality, hermeticity, and caching
- Hands-on experience with Bazel and/or Buck, specifically writing rules and macros
- Experience designing continuous integration systems, especially dependency-aware build and test selection
- Experience with job scheduling for long-running, resource-constrained workloads (Slurm, LSF, Kubernetes, or similar)
- Experience with distributed storage systems and the tradeoffs they impose on consistency, locality, caching, and retention
More about this role
At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. We are seeking a Software or Systems Reliability Engineer with a strong background in developer tools/experience to build and own the front-end tool flows that our design and verification teams rely on to develop and verify the CPU. You will work closely with hardware design and verification engineers to keep build and test workflows (simulation, emulation, synthesis, lint, CDC, and formal verification) fast, reliable, scalable, and delightful.
