Principal Software Architect

Design and implement programming tools for Cilk++.

We're looking for a lead engineer to own the development of a deterministic race detector based on and extending existing algorithms. The ideal candidate is a star programmer who reasons carefully and completely; capable of proving theorems as well as writing code. An understanding of the x86 instruction set is key, along with an in-depth understanding of compiler output and language tools internals. The tool will run on both Windows and Linux platforms.

Exceptional Programmers

Build and test the Cilk++ language and environment.

Great qualifications include several of: experience building programmer tools such as debuggers and performance analyzers; user interface experience, especially cross platform for Windows and Linux; experience with binary rewriting tools such as PIN; deep knowledge of data structures and alogorithms; assembly-language and instruction-set comfort.

Senior Technical Writer

Teach the world about Cilk++.

The ideal candidate will have documented a programming language, with experience writing both tutorial and reference material for programmers. C++ programming experience is essential. Our biggest challenge is not producing reference-manual documentation, but in fact providing the "big picture" story so people can learn WHEN to apply our concepts, a much harder problem than learning HOW.

Working with experienced authors on Cilk's engineering team, the Technical Writer will help C++ programmers learn how to use Cilk++ to develop concurrent programs, maximize program performance, and learn to use the language, libraries and tools provided in the Cilk++ product. We are seeking a senior, experienced writer who will launch our efforts from scratch, including tool selection and schedule development and management.
