The link should probably go directly to the job posting, since the StackExchange -> Channel9 posts don't really provide any additional information. The compilerjobs link (http://www.compilerjobs.com/db/jobs_view.php?editid1=648 http://www.compilerjobs.com/db/jobs_view.php?editid1=648) has a bit more details: "Specifically this work will include: • Engineering parts of the reader for MSIL • Creating a native compiler internal representation that the existing compiler can optimize • Designing and implementing new managed optimizations to augment the existing optimizer like range check elimination or speeding up C# constructs on vector machines • Engineering and co-designing the ability to emit a new object file format that will support rapid linking • Fixing all existing phases of the compiler so that managed code can be correctly and efficiently compiled with the new auot-vectorizing/auto-parallelizing Win 8 compiler." So, this sounds to me like an element of high-performance computing (maybe with the recent work getting Hadoop running on Windows?), rather than a fully-native toolchain.
