The start-up Zebrys (https://rplusplus.com/en/) is based in Lyon,
France. It proposes high-end tools for users and developers in
language R.
Zebrys offers a permanent or post-doc job on efficient compilation of
the R language. The job offer attached is in french only but english
speaking candidates are welcome.
Mission : Join the development team of the R++ compiler. This compiler
has 2 objectives 1) perform static analyses on R code (from syntax
highlighting to typing, detect good practice), 2) generate efficient
(GPU mainly) code when the code follows good practice. All these tools
should be integrated in Zebrys's dedicated IDE.
Research : R belongs to the LISP family and is therefore impossible to
type statically. Some aspects of the language (weak typing,
reflexivity...) in particular should be forbidden when it comes to
efficient compilation. Choosing the right subset of R (without
confusing R community), and designing an analyser and a compiler for
it is a difficult challenge.
Profile: junior or senior accepted.
Mandatory: PhD, C/C++, langugage expert (compilation or static analysis)
Appreciated: GPU knowledge
Salary: 35-40k€ depending on experience.
Send CV and application to [email protected]
See attached offer (french only) for details.
Best regards,
Pierre Courtieu
