Role
Who you are
- You’ve either built or significantly contributed to a language runtime in a production environment. (Significant experience as a graduate student will be considered)
- Strong in C, C++, or Rust. You know your way around systems programming and have solid instincts for memory management
- You’re articulate and can explain technical concepts in a way that’s easy for others to follow—even if they’re not runtime experts
- You’re practical about language features, bringing in what’s valuable without being hung up on copying every feature from existing languages
- You make sound technical decisions and write clean, maintainable code
- You need to be in one of the North American time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern) so we can sync up during core hours
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a pioneering engineer to help bring a new programming language to life!
- You’ll be at the forefront of building a VM with a bytecode interpreter and garbage collector, crafting a compiler from scratch, and creating a VS Code-integrated debugger
- Collaborate closely with the VP of Engineering, Product, and CEO to shape the architecture and functionality of our new programming language
- Build the language infrastructure from the ground up, using an existing language (C, C++, Java, Typescript, etc.) as a model for grammar and syntax
- Define and implement the bytecode instruction set architecture, creating a VM with a basic garbage collector to execute it
- Develop a compiler to translate code into bytecode and build a VS Code-integrated debugger
- Continuously optimize performance and add language features and standard libraries to enhance functionality
- Own all aspects of the language lifecycle, including design, development, profiling, testing, and ensuring top-quality code
Our take
Veeva was created out of a predicted need for cloud-based enterprise software at a time when this software was nascent, and when current systems were archaic and cumbersome to use. By focusing on the life sciences sector, the company fills a niche to help some of the most operationally complex businesses run efficiently.
Veeva has managed to position itself as the go-to solution for large and growing companies in the life sciences sector by offering fully comprehensive cloud solutions that support the most critical functions from R&D to commercial.
The company has over 800 customers, ranging from the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, such as AstraZeneca, to emerging biotechs. For future growth, Veeva looks to the continual development of its services and expansion of its customer base. Its 2024 launch of the Veeva Compass Suite for commercial data products gives a more comprehensive view of patient information and exemplifies how Veeva is strengthening its product to meet future challenges.
