Compiler Engineer - Remote

Overview

This role involves extending compiler frontends, IR passes, and backends to unlock new language features and improve performance across architectures.

In Short

• Design and implement new compiler features and optimizations across frontends, IR, and backends.
• Optimize code generation, vectorization, and link-time execution across architectures.
• Debug and validate compiler pipelines using ASAN/UBSAN, GDB, and Valgrind.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers to adapt compilers for AI and high-performance workloads.
• Maintain build systems and workflows with Make/CMake.
• Ensure that compiler optimizations balance performance, correctness, and maintainability.
• Paid weekly via Stripe Connect, based on hours logged.
• Part-time (20–30 hrs/week) with flexible hours—work from anywhere, on your schedule.
• Weekly Bonus of $500–$1000 USD per 5 tasks.
• Remote and flexible working style.

Requirements

• Strong background in computer science, systems programming, or compiler engineering.
• Proficient in C and C++, with hands-on experience in compiler development.
• Skilled in frameworks like LLVM/Clang, GCC, and MLIR.
• Understanding of IR transformations, codegen, vectorization, and LTO.
• Comfortable with build systems (Make, CMake) and debugging tools (ASAN/UBSAN, GDB, Valgrind).
• Care deeply about performance, correctness, and reliability at the systems level.
• Curious about how compiler technology accelerates AI, scientific computing, and large-scale applications.
