Job description

About Winixx

Winixx Inc. is a New York-based technology holding company operating a portfolio of over 35 SaaS platforms across freight, fleet management, financial infrastructure, and market intelligence. We are building WinixxOS — a distinctive, AOSP-based operating system powering a full lineup of consumer hardware — and, over a multi-year horizon, .wnx, a proprietary programming language designed to be announced alongside WinixxOS. This is founding-team language engineering: you would be shaping the core type system, memory model, and syntax of a new language from its very first version, not extending someone else's spec.

Role Summary

The Language Tooling Engineer implements and tests components of .wnx's developer tooling, supporting the LSP implementation, formatter, and linter that power the language's experience inside Winixx Studio.

What You'll Do

• Implement and test LSP features (autocomplete, diagnostics, go-to-definition)
• Support formatter and linter development
• Fix tooling bugs and responsiveness issues identified through internal use
• Work with the Winixx Studio team to resolve editor-integration issues

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of developer tooling or IDE-plugin engineering experience
• Familiarity with the Language Server Protocol or comparable editor-integration tooling
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
• Performance bonus program tied to individual and company milestones
• Visa sponsorship available for the right talent
• Full-time role with a minimum one-year commitment
• A rare opportunity to help design and build a production programming language from scratch
• Collaborative, mission-driven team environment
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Professional development and continuing education support
