I’ve worked in compilers (optimizations) at Microsoft (vc++) and NVIDIA(CUDA) - register allocators, schedulers and loop optimizers were super fun. Then I worked on database (query) compilers. I managed Apache Hive at Hortonworks, and that has a compiler. These are very different beasts. Now, my startup is working on code analysis and cross compilers for data engineering, including Spark. Some of my colleagues are working in AI chip startups. It’s hard to find high quality engineers in both kinds of compilers. Just like database internals engineers there is high demand. Plug - I’m hiring at Prophecy.io for compiler engineers.
