The QuIC LLVM Tools Group develops LLVM-based toolchains for ARM, Hexagon, RISC-V, and other architectures, including compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, simulators, and profilers. Our DevOps and QA team ensures quality and reliability by managing CI/CD, release processes, and automated testing. We build tools and frameworks that streamline development, testing, and release workflows across global teams.

Role Overview

Join a high-impact team focused on validating LLVM and GCC compiler toolchains at scale. As a Compiler QA Engineer, you will design and maintain automated test frameworks, integrate industry-standard and custom test suites, and drive continuous validation through CI pipelines.

• Analyze test failures, triage regressions, and report defects.
• Build scripts and tools to automate build, test, and release processes.
• Validate compiler correctness, performance, and stability across multiple architectures.
• Integrate and manage test suites (LLVM test-suite, SPEC benchmark, internal workloads) into CI pipelines.
• Deliver assigned components with minimal guidance.

Required Skills & Qualification

• 2–3 years of experience in compiler QA, test infrastructure, or systems validation.
• Knowledge of open-source project development and maintenance practices.
• Strong proficiency in Python and Bash for test automation and tooling.
• Good understanding of compiler toolchains (LLVM, GCC) and build systems (Make, CMake, Ninja).
• Experience with GitHub and CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with performance benchmarking, test result analysis, and debugging compiler/runtime issues.
• Strong Linux system knowledge, including shell scripting and debugging tools.
• Experience with containerized environments (Docker) for scalable test execution.
• Excellent analytical, debugging, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to embedded systems and cross-compilation workflows.
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructures (AWS, Azure) and container orchestration.
• Familiarity with sanitizers and compiler runtime libraries.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.
