Maybe a stupid question, but have you tried applying to compiler engineer jobs? There is a list currently at the bottom of this thread: https://news.ycombinator

I think you may find that lots of the job is ‘regular software engineering’ work if it involves maintaining a production compiler rather than being all about specific compiler techniques there will be lots of time on eg making the compiler faster, improving debugging information, coming up with better error messages, etc. I guess something more on the research end is going to be totally different.
