Subject: Microsoft - Compiler Opportunities
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 17:16:44 -0800
From: "Lisa Martin" <lisamar@microsoft.com>


Research Software Design Engineer - Microsoft Research


The Advanced Compiler Technology group at Microsoft Research is
looking for people to work on an optimizing research compiler for
languages like C# that represent the future of programming. The
compiler will work in the context of the Microsoft Common Language
Runtime. We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about
compiler work and has compiler implementation experience. Some areas
of the compiler that a candidate might work on include
whole-program/incremental optimizations, code generation for the IA-32
and IA-64 architectures, and runtime support. A candidate has to have
solid design and implementation skills, strong debugging skills, and
be able to work independently. The candidate should be able to
understand and work from published research papers. The candidate
also needs good communication skills and the ability to work with
researchers and other teams. Experience with C++ and the ability to
learn C# and assembly language are requirements. A Master's degree in
computer science and previous experience in a research environment are
preferred.


Software Design Engineer - Visual C++


.NET sets new challenges for the design of code generators and if you
are up to the challenge, we want you! .NET needs small, fast, and
configurable high quality code generation for multiple platforms and
depending on where in the network code generation takes place, the
compiler will utilize various levels of resources to generate the best
code possible under the given constraints. As a senior compiler
engineer we expect you to be intimately familiar with how to analyze
and improve code quality using various benchmarking techniques and
tools. You should also have a great grasp of current microprocessor
architectural issues and trends, and where the computer architecture
industry is heading. As a senior compiler engineer you will be
responsible for and involved in the architecture, design, and
implementation of Microsoft's next generation high performance code
optimizer. This work involves heavy use of graph theory, dataflow
analysis, and data structures to solve complex problems in code
generation and optimization. Qualifications: Must have 5 or more years
experience coding on code generators in C/C++ and a good understanding
of microprocessor architecture.


Program Manager - Visual C++


Do you dig compilers?! Do the words SSA, Software Pipelining, Partial
Redundancy Elimination, Global Scheduling, etc, mean anything to you?
Do you have a passion for making code go fast or about microprocessors
in general? If so, the Visual C++ team has the perfect position for
you. We're looking for a Program Manager who has prior experience
with compilers (Front-end and/or backend) to join the backend team and
help VC++ be the best serious programming tool for the Windows
world. The ideal candidate has previously worked on code generators
and/or global optimizers for at least 4 years. College grads (master
preferred) whose thesis/course emphasis was in compilation technology
are also encouraged to apply. JIT experience is a plus. Job duties
will include working closely with the development team on defining the
features of Microsoft's next generation of code generation technology
for static compilation, JITers, Profilers, etc.
