The compiler team is responsible for building the entire Microsoft stack with the highest reliability and a long term commitment to code quality. The goal of your work will be to improve the compiler across a broad spectrum of functionalities that will ultimately improve existing code generation algorithms and produce smaller and faster code. The areas of the compiler that you will work on will depend on your expertise, experience, and interests. Some possible areas include machine dependent compiler optimizations, whole program analysis, profile framework and profile driven optimization, incremental re-compilation, register allocation, static alias analysis or SIMD and GPU code generation and vectorization.
