Job description

• Total Comp: Equity, Bonus Plan, Comprehensive Health Insurance, and more

The toolchain group at an established hardware business is expanding. They own the production compiler and the system software tooling around it, and the quality of what reaches users. This is a senior individual contributor role.

You’ll own investigations into runtime behaviour and code footprint, chase the problems that only surface once the toolchain meets a real system, and build out the measurement infrastructure the team works to.

What you’ll drive:

• Measuring runtime performance and binary size to pinpoint where the compiler can do better
• Tracing faults that appear at the system level, working them through with the delivery and validation teams
• Building and running the benchmarking used to track toolchain quality

What we’re looking for:

• Several years working on compilers, commercially or in research
• Professional development experience on LLVM, GCC, or another production grade compiler
• Strong grounding in instruction sets and processor microarchitecture
• Comfortable across the wider toolchain, not just the compiler
• A track record in large scale codebases
• Strong written and verbal communication

Full details on the company will be shared once you’re through to the next stage.
