Programming Language Developer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in programming languages and a passion for enhancing developer experiences — your expertise in languages like Java, Python, C++, and Rust allows you to contribute effectively to language design and tooling. You understand the intricacies of programming language ecosystems and have experience with open-source developer tools or CI/CD systems, which positions you well for this role.

Your experience includes designing and implementing robust testing frameworks and tooling that improve productivity and maintainability — you thrive in environments where you can collaborate with researchers and developers to create impactful solutions. You are detail-oriented and have a knack for simplifying complex concepts, making them accessible to a broader audience.

What you'll do

In this role, you will focus on non-core language design areas for SimplicityHL, working closely with language researchers to enhance the developer experience. You will design and implement a robust unit testing and integration testing framework for SimplicityHL programs, ensuring that developers can easily test their smart contracts.

You will also develop tooling for module and package systems, creating a seamless experience for developers as they organize and share their work. Your responsibilities will include building documentation tooling and establishing versioning and upgrade paths that facilitate the evolution of the language.

Collaboration is key in this role, as you will work alongside a team of talented individuals dedicated to making SimplicityHL a complete and usable platform. Your contributions will directly impact every developer building with SimplicityHL, making it easier for them to test, organize, share, and evolve their smart contracts.
