## About the role

Tenstorrent is looking for a Workload Performance Optimization Engineer to help optimize the software workloads that run on our next-generation RISC-V platforms. You’ll work across modern datacenter and agentic AI workloads—including Java, Python, PHP, Node.js, Lua, Go, and Rust—to identify performance bottlenecks and develop software, compiler, runtime, and hardware-aware optimizations that improve throughput, latency, and efficiency. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You’re a performance engineer who enjoys getting deep into runtimes, compilers, applications, and CPU microarchitecture to understand why software is fast—or slow
- You have hands-on experience optimizing software on RISC-V or another modern CPU architecture, with a strong understanding of the hardware/software boundary
- You’re comfortable profiling complex systems, finding bottlenecks, forming hypotheses, and iterating through optimizations using data
- You’re excited about emerging agentic AI development workflows and using AI tools to automate profiling, coding, benchmarking, and optimization
- You’re a strong technical collaborator who can work across compiler, runtime, systems software, hardware, and performance modeling teams
