We have an exceptional team across hardware and software capable of bringing about this change, and we are growing fast to meet demand and deliver our product at scale.
We’re looking for an engineer who wants to own Bazel at scale and build the tooling that powers every part of Fractile, from ML models to kernel drivers to hardware simulation.This is a greenfield Bazel role in a fast-growing deep-tech company building a new class of ML hardware and software from first principles.
What you will work on
- Designing and owning Bazel rules and extensions
- Scaling our monorepo as we grow across Python, C++, Rust, SystemVerilog and ML workloads
- Creating reproducible, multi-language build pipelines
- Optimising CI performance across large compute clusters
- Defining the developer experience for every engineer at Fractile
- Contributing upstream to Bazel rules we depend on
Why this role is unique?
No legacy — you’re building the Bazel ecosystem from scratch
Extreme variety — ML, compilers, kernel drivers, simulators, hardware verification
