Senior Compiler/Language Engineer (Rust)

Fuel Labs is building the fastest modular execution layer in the world.

You will be working at the bleeding edge of blockchain scalability R&D. The upcoming release of the Fuel Network will feature a brand new virtual machine, the FuelVM.

To go with this new VM, a new high-level language is needed; one that avoids the many shortcomings of current smart contract languages, and that offers additional functionality and performance. You’ll be designing new language features and implementing a compiler targeting the FuelVM.

The compiler and toolchain are available here.

Responsibilities:

• Design and specify Sway language features


• Write a compiler in Rust targeting the FuelVM


• Integrate the compiler with additional tooling: package manager, debugger, language server, IDE plugin, etc.

Required Experience

• Experience with Rust, C++, or Golang (or other systems language)


• Strong familiarity with compilers and programming languages


• Masters degree in computer science

Bonus

• Familiarity with Rust specifically


• Familiarity with blockchain execution environments


• Solidity/smart contract development


• Used open-source development tools


• Background in philosophy
