AI Algorithms/Software Engineer

Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications—whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from –40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense. We’ve raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.
