From: Andrew Richards <a.richards@codeplay.com>
Organization: CodePlay Limited
Subject: Positions offered - Compiler developers in London, England


Compilers are dull, serious tools for engineers. CodePlay's compilers
are breaking the rules. We develop programming tools for creative
programmers who develop games, graphics, video and sound software.
Entertainment is our customers' top priority.


No-one has ever done anything quite like this, so we are looking for
programmers who can take on a challenge.


You must ...


        * be able to research ideas, develop new solutions and make it all
            work.
        * understand compilers and how they work.
        * be keen to work in a creative industry.
        * upset the status quo.
        * have a degree or better (unless you can demonstrate you can do
            what we need)


CodePlay is a new fast-growing company, so there are plenty of
opportunities to develop your career as we expand. We value ideas and
are prepared to take risks.


The skills we are looking for (only one of these per person is required.
Two is a bonus)


        * C++ translator. We need to produce a C++ translator for our C
            compiler (VectorC).
        * Optimization. Creating fast code for new parallel processors aimed
            at digital media processing is our main concern. Come to us with
            good ideas and enthusiasm and you've got the job.
        * Code generation. Producing code for processors that execute
            out-of-order is hard. Very few compilers do it well. Don't let
            these chips sit around idle, make them sweat!


We do not expect you to have experience of any particular language,
processor or compiler - we want you to work it out.


We do not want the cheapest, quickest or most established solutions - we
want the best.


Working for CodePlay will mean developing our existing parallelising C
compiler (VectorC) to take advantage of new processors and C++. You will
be working on the latest games and entertainment machines. If you think
the most exciting new processors are on business machines, you haven't
seen the PlayStation 2..


CodePlay is based in Camden, London, England. For further information,
or to apply for a job, contact Andrew Richards on 020 7419 2465, or
a.richards@codeplay.com. To see what we do, go to http://www.codeplay.com.


Unfortunately, we can only currently offer this opportunity to people
who are automatically entitled to work in Britain (i.e. you must be a
citizen of the European Economic Area or have a British work permit)
