Job Summary
The MATLAB Coder Language team at MathWorks is seeking an expert in programming language design and implementation to contribute to our partial evaluation-based type inference engine. Your work will play a critical role in enabling MATLAB applications to run on everything from cars to spacecraft. We’re looking for someone passionate about compilers and proven in delivering complex, high-impact systems.
Responsibilities
As a member of our small, highly-skilled engineering team, you will:
-
Own and evolve the core components of our type inference engine and optimizing compiler, which translates MATLAB code into low-level languages like C, C++, CUDA, or LLVM.
-
Design and implement the compiler’s intermediate representation, type system, and static analysis tools.
-
Develop language features to support ahead-of-time compilation, especially for embedded systems.
In this senior-level role, you’ll also:
-
Engage with both internal and external customers to gather feedback and use cases.
-
Support other teams in integrating our compilation technology.
-
Mentor junior team members and contribute to their onboarding.
-
Drive improvements in our development practices and workflows.
Minimum Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s degree with 6+ years of relevant experience, or
-
Master’s degree with 3+ years, or
-
PhD or equivalent experience.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience with functional programming languages (OCaml, Haskell, Racket) is a plus.
-
Familiarity with staged computation and partial evaluation (e.g., Zig, C++ metaprogramming) is a strong advantage.
-
Exposure to compiler frameworks like LLVM or MLIR is beneficial.
