Senior Software Engineer, Compiler

Nomic Labs, Mission, Kansas, United States,


Who we are

The Nomic Foundation

is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a tangible impact.About the team

The Slang team builds a modular set of compiler APIs for Solidity code analysis. Our users are internal and external developers integrating our APIs in their developer tools to process Solidity code and make it easier to build smart contracts for their end users. The project is at an early stage working towards feature completeness. We aim to upgrade the Solidity developer experience and tooling ecosystem in the long term.This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.What you’ll do:

Designing and implementing features in

Rust

in the

compiler , language specification, and testing infrastructure

Work on an

open-source

project while helping triage Github issues and supporting users

Tackle large, complex, and ambiguous projects, starting from a set of high-level product requirements

Identify and/or clarify requirements and analyze tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, user value, and non-functional requirements

Deep dive into user pain points, concerns, and requests

Independently solve tasks that range from complex design/architecture issues and complex previously unknown blockers to churning through coding tasks and bugs at a high pace

Uncover unknowns or gaps and prototype solutions for major risks

Act as a force multiplier for the team

Contribute to

project management

and

roadmap planning . You’ll outline risks and dependencies and break down scopes and roadmap items into tangible milestones while optimizing for fast delivery

Keep

timely communication

with management stakeholders, other engineering teams, and other functions

Coach other engineers on technical topics

Who we’re looking for:

At least

5 years

of experience working on

systems software

5+ years of experience with

C++

OR 2+ years of working with

Rust

You have a

product-oriented mindset . You focus on future usage of what you’re building, always considering its impact, and make trade-offs accordingly

Compensation and benefits:

Unlimited PTO

Budget for IT equipment

Annual Learning & Development Budget

Vesting ETH grant as part of total compensation

Statutory benefits specific to your location (depending on the employment contract)
