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 industry-leading LLVM-based Intel C, C++, SYCL, and Fortran Compilers. The team consists of leaders in the LLVM community. 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 are hiring a Compiler Engineer to work on Intel's offload and SYCL infrastructure within our opensource and closed-source compiler stacks. In this role, you will design and implement core offloading technologies-such as binary formats, device code generation, and next generation offloading models-that directly enable heterogeneous compute across CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators. Your work will involve deep collaboration upstream with the LLVM and SYCL communities, as well as close partnership across Intel compiler, runtime, performance, and platform teams to deliver production ready solutions. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy diving deep into complex systems, taking technical ownership in ambiguous problem spaces, and collaborating broadly to move critical technology forward-curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn are essential.
