As a Senior Compiler Engineer, you'll develop tools for computations on unique machines, focusing on ZK constraint systems and custom cobcryptographic processors on FPGA.
Join our client as they accelerate the ZK revolution, supporting web3 networks with reliable and cost-efficient proof generation. They are a high-performance cryptography startup with an exciting hardware twist looking for a talented Compiler Engineer.
About the role:
As a Senior Compiler Engineer, you will build tools to express computations on two types of novel machines, one digital and one virtual. The goals in these areas of our tech stack are:
Expression of verifiable programs with ZK constraint systems.
Translation of algorithms to target a custom cryptographic processor running on an FPGA.
You will work closely with the hardware and cryptography teams to define both the instruction sets and high-level program representations. The tools you build may be embedded programming languages, special-purpose compilers, and machine emulators. This work will have a direct impact on Irreducible’s success by improving the product’s developer experience, performance, and security.
Qualifications:
- Proficiency in Rust
- Functional programming
- Experience writing CPU assembly code
- Experience writing virtual machine interpreters or emulators

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
