THE ROLE:
The Compiler Engineer is responsible for development and enhancement of high-performance production level C/C++/Fortran compilers. Compiler Engineers are expected to independently design and develop complex optimization passes. Compiler Engineers must work closely with performance analysts, Compiler QA and the Compiler support organization. As needed, Compiler Engineers also work on Performance Analysis of the compiler and produce analysis reports.
THE PERSON:
Your curiosity will drive your learning and innovation to improve how we as a group, and an organization, can get better every day. Your peers will provide you a results-oriented and encouraging environment for your career growth, fueling your opportunity to be a part of Delighting Our Customers.
