Compiler Developer

 


In this role, you will be responsible for working closely with traders
and quantitative researchers to develop a domain specific language for
trading applications as well as to optimize the processing of extremely
large datasets.

 

Requires:

 

*    Advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Logic or similar.

*    Strong experience with compiler development and research.

*    Strong experience with compiler theory - demonstrated flexibility
and not tied to one framework.

*    Experience with LLVM, gnu and other compiler frameworks.

*    Experience building compilers for functional, logical or dataflow
languages is desired.

 

More Information to determine if you have the specific experience
necessary to have success in this position:

 

In general, compiler optimizations can be divided into low-level,
mid-level, and high-level. Low-level is stuff close to the hardware like
instructions scheduling, register allocation, etc. Mid level includes
stuff like memory layout and coarse-grain parallelism. High-level is
things like translating constructs in your language to other constructs
still in your language but have better performance characteristics. 
 
The preferred skill set would be someone in the mid-level and high-level
optimizations than low-level since our client uses an open-source
framework which provides much of the low-level passes. Logical,
functional, data-flow, and declarative languages tend to do a lot more
on the high-level side, which is one of the reasons why our client is
interested in those people. Work that is done on SQL-query plan
optimization usually falls into the high-level category as well.
