About the role
This is a technical leadership (IC) role in collaboration with the compiler engineering manager; you will be driving the technical roadmap for the Mojo compiler backend, creating new features, proposing new ideas, driving code reviews and leading design documents. Mentoring other engineers is a key element of this role.
What they're looking for
- Deep, hands-on compiler experience,IR design, optimization passes, and code generation in a production toolchain
- Strong experience with both LLVM and MLIR — comfortable across dialects, lowering pipelines, and codegen
- A track record of technical leadership without formal management: leading projects, setting architecture, and growing other engineers
- Strong C++ and Python
- Hands-on experience with debuggers in the LLDB and GDB family, not just using them, but ideally extending or building debugger support for a language or runtime
- Familiarity with editor/IDE tooling, language servers (LSP), VS Code extensions, or comparable developer-experience surfaces
