LLVM Compiler Engineer

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is seeking an experienced LLVM Compiler Engineer to join their team in either Santa Clara or San Diego, California. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on enabling the next generation of high-performance CPUs from Qualcomm.

The position involves supporting the LLVM toolchain for Qualcomm's custom CPUs across multiple platforms. As a key member of a specialized team with expertise in compiler development and performance analysis, you'll work closely with the CPU hardware team and other groups to optimize compilation workflows from front-end to back-end. The role includes analyzing and improving the performance of LLVM libraries, as well as libraries for cryptography, compression, memory allocation, and atomics.

The primary focus is leveraging knowledge of Qualcomm's micro-architecture to develop highest-performance solutions. The position involves open-source development and engagement with upstream communities to align with software projects that customers and partners depend on. You'll have opportunities to work with key end-users and third parties on enablement and tuning of high-priority applications.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $180,600 to $271,000, complemented by annual discretionary bonuses and RSU grants. Qualcomm offers comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), equity opportunities, and various wellness programs.

The ideal candidate will bring 6+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent with advanced degrees), strong expertise in C/C++ programming, and deep knowledge of compiler frameworks, particularly LLVM. Understanding of computer architectures, instruction sets, and system software tools is essential. The role requires both technical excellence and strong communication skills, as you'll be working with cross-functional teams and contributing to large-scale software projects.

This position offers an excellent opportunity to work at the cutting edge of compiler technology while contributing to the development of next-generation CPU architectures at one of the world's leading semiconductor companies.
