Staff Compiler Performance Engineer

Extracted from the posting
Staff role setting the technical performance direction for Falcon, the LLVM-based optimizing JIT compiler in Azul Platform Prime that compiles hot Java bytecode to machine code. Responsibilities include defining the performance roadmap, leading design of cross-cutting optimizer and code generator work, making decisions on the optimization pipeline and tiering, and representing Azul in the LLVM community. Requires 8+ years building optimizing or JIT compilers, expert C++, and microarchitecture-level performance analysis.
Falcon is the optimizing just in time (JIT) compiler in Azul Platform Prime. It compiles hot Java bytecode into highly optimized machine code and delivers Java performance that standard JVMs do not reach. Falcon is built on LLVM.
We are looking for a Staff Compiler Performance Engineer to set the technical direction for Falcon performance. This is not a compiler front end role and not a compiler built from scratch: Falcon is mature and runs in production at large enterprises. You will decide where the next significant performance gains come from, lead the design of the optimizations that deliver them, and make sure the compiler architecture supports the product roadmap.
You will be the senior technical voice on a distributed team of compiler experts and a key partner for runtime, GC and product teams.
