Job Description: 

Join Us in Shaping the Future  

At Intel, we are building the next generation of software innovation through the oneAPI software stack, a unified programming model designed to unlock the full potential of heterogeneous computing. Our team is at the forefront of enabling developers worldwide to harness CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators with cutting-edge tools, libraries, and compilers. By joining us, you’ll contribute to an open ecosystem that drives performance, scalability, and portability across diverse architectures—empowering breakthroughs in AI, HPC, and beyond. If you’re passionate about transforming how the world computes and want to work on technology that truly matters, this is your opportunity to make an impact. 

The Team 

The Intel Compiler Engineering Team is a high performing team responsible for the creation of the industry-leading Intel C/C++/DPC++ and Fortran Compilers, and is a leader in LLVM.org, the basis of our compiler products.  We are continually pushing the boundaries of compiler technology in support of providing maximally useful and performant compilers for all of Intel’s processor platforms, both CPU and GPUs. 

Position Overview 

We’re hiring a Senior Compiler Architect to own the runtime architecture for Intel’s open‑source compiler stack (CPU + GPU/accelerators). You will set technical direction, design and evolve language runtimes, and lead delivery of new features that enable portable, high‑performance offload. You’ll drive upstream collaboration with LLVM.org, SYCL, and OpenMP, lead development of novel optimization techniques for accelerated workloads. You will define how our runtime integrates with the broader ecosystem, and ensure rock‑solid performance, reliability, and developer experience from silicon to software. This role is perfect for individuals who thrive on deep systems work, community leadership, and measurable impact on AI and HPC workloads.
