Job Description
About Code Metal
Code Metal is redefining code translation for mission-critical industries, helping defense partners move more quickly and reliably from algorithm to silicon. Our platform accelerates deployment of DSP, RF, communications, and embedded signal processing algorithms onto heterogeneous compute targets, including GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and edge SoCs. We also support automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor partners deploying complex algorithms onto constrained hardware with speed and rigor.
In this role you will play a lead role in architecting and implementing a common platform for novel code translation pipelines that use a mix of Generative AI, Static Analysis and Formal Verification methods to translate code written in one language to another. You will also design, build and deploy multi-language code analysis/retrieval tools at scale.
About the role
You'll architect and implement agentic AI pipelines, including state machines, message queues, and distributed processing, while building extensible, well-tested foundations for code translation products. You'll design language-agnostic translation patterns, build and deploy multi-language code analysis tools at scale, and collaborate with domain specialists to integrate formal verification and static analysis into the code generation pipeline. Strong command of cloud services and distributed architectures is essential.
