LLVM / MLIR Compiler Architect - Photonic Computing (f/m/d)

Your mission

Location: Stuttgart Or Munich, Germany
Type: Full-time, hybrid (max. 1-2 days remote work per week)


The future of AI computing builds upon light. Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light - delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.

As LLVM / MLIR Compiler Architect - Photonic Computing (f/m/d), you will design and build the compiler stack that brings photonic computing to life. You will shape the interface between developers and hardware, define how software frameworks drive photonic execution, and co-design the system architecture that will power Q.ANT's next-generation products.
This isn't incremental optimization - it's defining the compiler structure from the ground up for a fundamentally new compute paradigm. You'll sit at the boundary to algorithms and software ecosystems, and you feed into l...
