Compiler Development Expert

You may not recognize a Configuran in the street – we come in all shapes, forms and personalities and we certainly wouldn’t dream of instituting a company dress code – but with six offices on three continents, we’re one Configura.

Configura works with parametric configuration. We develop software to draw spaces in 2D and 3D for companies within the commercial furniture, kitchen and material handling industries. In the background, prices and configurations are automatically calculated.

Our teams work together across time zones and oceans to develop software for some of the world’s largest furniture manufacturers and other industry leaders. Care to join us?

Job description
Configura is looking for a senior Compiler Development Expert to join our Research and Development team in Linköping Sweden. You will work with a tight team of highly skilled individuals on the CET Developer Platform and specifically on our proprietary CM programming language. The CM language is the core of our product offering enabling rapid content production and efficient maintenance of very large code bases detailing real products and integration with their associated business workflows to CRM and ERP systems.

The CM programming language provides an interactive- and incremental development environment in conjunction with GNU Emacs. CM is syntactically extensible and garbage collected. The backend provide ultra-fast machine code generation or high-quality optimization through CLANG/LLVM.

As a Programming Language and Compiler Development Expert at Configura, you will contribute towards the challenges surrounding compiler development and the required toolchain. You need very good skills in C++, assembly, x86-64 machine code and architecture, exception handling, garbage collection, virtual memory and related subjects.

If you want to work for a company with Swedish roots and genuine care for its employees, this position could be for you. We see our low employee turnover as a sign of a successful company culture.
