CPU/Memory System Software Engineer

About HyperCIM

Established in 2023, HyperCIM's mission is to enhance speed & power performance for petabyte-scale data processing via in-memory computing co-processor. Our technology significantly reduces software execution time and server power consumption, promising over 10x performance improvements, enabling faster, cleaner petabyte-scale data processing. Designed for seamless integration with existing server and database infrastructures, our accessible solution enables software efficiencies in sectors such as financial services, banking, e-commerce, telecommunications, online gaming, and streaming services. Currently, we are incubated at Deep Science Ventures and Silicon Catalyst UK's Chip Start accelerator.

The Challenge

We're on the cusp of a new era in computing, driven by the need to process ever-growing data volumes without the unsustainable energy costs currently associated with high-performance computing. At HyperCIM, we are developing Compute-In-Memory (CIM) technology. Leveraging non-volatile memory for both storage and computation promises to slash power consumption by up to 95%. At HyperCIM, we are dedicated to seamlessly integrating our hardware solution into existing servers and software systems, providing customers with a comprehensive and low-risk solution.

The Role

At HyperCIM, we prioritize software/hardware co-design to ensure seamless integration with current server infrastructures and software stacks. As a System Software Engineer at HyperCIM, you'll be at the heart of our co-processor design, specifying the critical abstraction layer between our hardware implementation and the compiler/frontend. We are looking for a highly motivated System Software Engineer to join our startup team and simulate the microarchitecture for our identified applications. You will collaborate with hardware and software engineers to ensure seamless integration of our hardware solutions within existing software ecosystems.
