Senior Compiler Performance Engineer
Full Job Posting
What You Will Do (aka Responsibilities)
Own performance of Falcon for a set of workloads or an optimization area end to end: analysis, design, implementation, validation
Design and implement new optimizations and improve existing ones in the middle end and back end: inlining heuristics, loop optimizations, vectorization, escape analysis, speculation and deoptimization, GC barrier and runtime call optimization
Drive code generation quality on x86_64 and AArch64, including bringing Falcon to new hardware platforms
Investigate complex performance issues reported by customers and turn findings into compiler improvements
Review code, mentor engineers on the team and raise the bar for performance methodology
Contribute to upstream LLVM where it makes sense

5+ years of professional experience developing optimizing compilers or JIT compilers
Strong C++ design and coding skills in large codebases
Proven track record of delivering compiler optimizations with measurable performance impact
Deep knowledge of compiler optimization theory and its practical tradeoffs: compile time, code size, correctness
Strong performance analysis skills: profilers, hardware counters, reading and reasoning about generated assembly
Nice to Have
- Significant experience with LLVM optimization passes or code generation; LLVM commit access is a plus
- Experience with JIT compilers for managed languages: HotSpot C2, Graal, V8,.NET RyuJIT or similar
- Deep knowledge of x86_64 and/or AArch64 microarchitecture
- Experience with JVM internals: garbage collection, deoptimization, profiling
- PhD in Computer Science or significant research experience in compilers
