System Software Engineer (compilers and toolchains)

We are seeking strong candidates for permanent research and development positions in the area of compiler technologies (including frontend, backend, runtime, VM, toolchain).

The Data Communication business unit is responsible for delivering top class networking hardware. Currently, the scale of Datacom service code is huge. Typical products have tons of code which is written in low-level language. The code abstraction is low and the redundancy is high while a single bug has a huge commercial cost. It becomes more and more difficult to maintain high telecom reliability.

We want to build the core software competitiveness aiming for greatly improving developing experience of tens of thousands programmers across Huawei and even more beyond. The team will be focusing on research and development in the area of compilation technology, language design, translators, static analysis and other adjacent areas. You will get an opportunity to become a known open source contributor and a limitless career path in a Fortune-100 company.

The research will aim to develop a compiler/tools/runtime for a new general purpose programming language. A significant fraction of our work is currently dedicated to source-to-source translation from existing high-level languages to our new programming language and runtime.
