Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and maintain compiler components and internal compiler representations.
Analyze and extend complex transpilers that convert legacy languages to modern languages (e.g., TypeScript, Java).
Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure accurate translation of legacy functionality.
Optimize code generation and translation with awareness of hardware-software integration.
Troubleshoot, debug, and proactively improve compiler performance and correctness.
Analyze complex code paths, fix compiler crashes, and optimize slow compilation or generated code.

Requirements:

Proven experience in compiler development or transpiler design.
Strong knowledge of internal compiler structures, language parsing, and code generation.
Strong grasp of graph algorithms, tree traversals, and other compiler-relevant patterns.
Able to implement performant algorithms for static analysis, type inference, and code optimization.
Proficiency in at least one low-level language (e.g., assembly).
Ability to understand and work with legacy enterprise languages.
Strong coding skills with a focus on clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
Effective communicator and team collaborator.
Understanding of how high-level code maps to low-level instructions and performance tuning at that level.

Preferred Qualifications:

Advanced degree in Computer Science with a focus on compilers or programming languages in C/C++, Rust, or other system-level languages.
Experience with OCaml, TypeScript, or other statically typed languages with type inference.
Understanding of legacy enterprise languages (COBOL, Fortran, etc.) is valuable in transpiler or modernization work.
Contributions to compiler-related academic research or open-source projects.
Understanding of modern software architecture and system-level programming.

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IS, or related technical discipline
Advanced degree, such as Master’s in Computer Science, preferred
