At Fractile, we’re taking a revolutionary approach to computing to run the world’s largest language models 100x faster than existing systems. Our fast-growing team is working at the cutting edge of the latest AI developments in both hardware and software. Want to get involved?

We are looking for Senior ML Compiler Engineers with experience in machine learning compilation to work on the compiler stack for our ground-breaking AI accelerators. You can be based in ourBristol office or London, the choice is yours.

Why Fractile:We're building something that doesn't exist yet.

Fractile isn't another AI startup gluing together frameworks. We are designing a full-stack execution engine: hardware, compiler, runtime, to build the world's largest language models 100 x faster than today's systems. That ambition forces us to rethink everything from first principles.

For compiler engineers, this is a rare moment: the architecture is still being shaped. The IR, the lowering strategy, the optimisation passes, the execution model - you get to define its future.

Inthis role, you will:

  • Develop the machine learning compiler stack for Fractile’s innovative AI acceleration hardware
  • Enable industry-leading performance of the latest LLMs on Fractile’s accelerators
  • Work with hardware, driver runtime, and ML engineers in a highly collaborative hardware-software co-design methodology

It would be great if you have:

  • Proven experience of the development of machine learning compilers using industry standard technologies such as MLIR or TVM
  • Up-to-date knowledge of machine learning techniques and technologies
  • A good understanding of computer architecture and performance optimisation techniques
  • Excellent C/C++ skills and solid experience of industry standard development tools and technologies
  • An creative and innovative mindset, and a willingness to take ownership and drive results in a fast-paced environment
  • Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Maths, Physics, or related degree and 3+ years of industry experience

You may also have:

  • Previous experience in a startup or small team environment

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
