DAIDALOS; Milano; Remoto; EUR 70.000 - 100.000; Tempo pieno

Vantaggi offerti da questo lavoro

Full remote work

High-impact role

Direct involvement in architecture–dec

Descrizione del lavoro

Daidalos is seeking a Software Engineer (Mid-Level) to bridge software and hardware in Europe. You will map AI models onto custom hardware, optimize execution, and contribute to hardware-software co-design. This role requires curiosity about how frameworks work under the hood and a hands-on approach.

You will develop in C++ and Python, work on performance-critical code, and help optimize memory, latency, and throughput on FPGA-based systems. Remote-first, with EU-friendly setup.

Competenze

• 2–5 years of experience in software engineering.
• Strong skills in C++ and/or Python.
• Experience with performance-critical code.
• Understanding of system-level behavior (memory, compute, latency).

Mansioni

• Optimize and deploy AI models on custom architectures.
• Develop in C++ and Python with a strong focus on performance.
• Hardware-software co-design with FPGA-based systems.
• Optimize under real-world constraints (memory, latency, throughput).

Software Engineer (Mid-Level) – AI Systems

Engineering Hybrid / Europe / Italy Full-time

Location: Remote (EU preferred) Experience: 2–5 years

About Us

Daidalos is a deep-tech company developing a proprietary AI accelerator IP designed for efficient and deterministic AI execution.

We are working at the intersection of AI, hardware design, and embedded systems, building architectures that go beyond traditional GPU-based approaches.

The role

This role goes beyond traditional software engineering.

You will work on mapping AI models onto custom hardware, optimizing execution, and contributing directly to hardware-software co-design.

We are not looking for someone who simply uses frameworks — we are looking for someone who wants to understand how they work under the hood and improve them.

What you will work on

• Optimization and deployment of AI models (PyTorch / ONNX) on custom architectures
• Development in C++ / C / Python with strong focus on performance
• Hardware-software co-design with FPGA-based systems
• Optimization under real-world constraints (memory, latency, throughput)
• Contribution to runtime and execution pipelines

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience in software engineering
• Strong skills in C++ and/or Python
• Experience with performance-critical code
• Understanding of system-level behavior (memory, compute, latency)

Nice to have

• Experience with AI frameworks (PyTorch, ONNX, TensorRT, etc.)
• Exposure to embedded systems or hardware acceleration
• Experience with profiling and optimization tools
• Familiarity with Linux and low-level programming

What we are looking for

• Strong problem-solving skills
• Ability to work across abstraction layers
• Interest in hardware-aware software design
• Ownership and proactive mindset

What we offer

• Full remote work
• High-impact role in a deep-tech startup
• Direct involvement in architecture-level decisions
• Opportunity to work at the boundary of AI and hardware
