Coverity has a number of job openings, all related to compilers
http://www.coverity.com/jobs/index.html. Specifically, I'm looking to
fill the following position. Enthusiastic new grads with significant
compiler experience will be considered.




Job Title Description


Compiler Engineer


Job Description


Coverity is looking for a highly motivated, self-directed, and
experienced engineer who can take responsibility for developing and
maintaining our compiler front end. The goal is to maximize our
compatibility with all open-source and commercially available compilers.
Success in this role will be measured by the extent of the
compatibility. This high profile role will require systematic, detailed
work on test cases as well as writing code to support compatibility
layers for new compilers. This Engineer reports to the Vice President,
Engineering. Location is San Francisco or Boston.






Development: Involves all aspects of compiler compatibility development.


* Implement compiler compatibility layers to allow Coverity's front end
code to parse code written for other compilers.


* Update and maintain this code as needed to ensure that Coverity
maintains its industry-leading compiler compatibility.


* Assist with technical partnerships between Coverity and other compiler
companies.






Test: Involves designing and developing the test infrastructure needed
to ensure that Coverity maintains its industry-leading compiler
compatibility.


* Strategize on best practices for testing the compiler/OS/IDE
compatibility matrix, including using open source compiler test suites
for C/C++ to improve standards compliance.


* Design and execute the compatibility matrix of test suites such that
test coverage is as close to 100% as possible.


* Development and automation of the test infrastructure needed to
support the compiler testsuite.


* Professional Experience and Personal Qualities






Leadership: Demonstrated skills in effecting change. Candidate needs to
be able to pull together one's own ideas and suggestions from others
into a vision for achieving individual and group objectives. Candidate
must then be able to implement this vision with minimal supervision.






Technical Experience


* Must have strong expertise (4+ years) with developing C/C++
applications.


* Must have strong understanding of C/C++ syntax and templates.
Knowledge of C/C++ parsing would be a plus.


* Having an understanding of compiler technology would be a plus. Having
knowledge of the internals of the EDG parser would be a significant
plus.


* Should have 4+ years experience with a wide range of compiler and OS
environments, such as gcc, WindRiver, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Mac OS X,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, Eclipse IDE, Windows, etc.






Problem Solving: Excellent problem solving and decision making skills
are required, and must be able to quickly assess which questions need to
be asked. Candidate must have demonstrated the ability to make judgments
independently and with little direction from others.






Personal skills: Candidate must display the following qualities:


* Excellent communicator (written and verbal)


* Motivated by quality and excellence, especially in the area of
execution.


* Team player who is capable of successfully leveraging his or her
peers.


* Strong interest in learning and growing. Enjoys working in a dynamic
environment.






Education: BA Computer Science, BS or MS or equivalent experience

development engineer or porting engineer who has a passion for ensuring
that the Coverity compilation technology can support all compiler/OS/and
IDE variations.
