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
High impact — your work becomes the backbone of the entire engineering organisation
Deep collaboration with Simulation, Runtime, and Hardware teams
Real ownership — you shape how Fractile builds software
What we’re looking for:
5+ years in software or infrastructure engineering
3+ years with build systems
Strong experience with Bazel
Python scripting and automation
