Low-level System Developer
About Us
See the main Careers entry to get a sense of who we are.
About the Role
Redlake uses the Red and Red/System languages for most of our work. This position requires knowledge of C level coding, and experience working at that level on multiple operating systems.
You’ll work with a small team creating a self-hosted, cross-platform, cross-compiling toolchain. We don’t emit C, or ASM, we emit machine code. LLVM and WASM are future targets. We are 32-bit only right now, but moving to 64-bits is a top priority.
On the GUI side, our main focus has been Windows and Mac, but we have a solid GTK implementation and core Android GUI. There are also low level algorithms to be ported to Red/System from C/C++, and new features to add on I/O, concurrency, and more. We specialize in our tools, but generalize in our tasks.
Requirements
- 4+ years experience or 4-year degree in Computer Science or related field
- You can see the big picture, love R&D, but also focus on large coding tasks and details
- Ability to work across our stack (just Red!)
- Additional experience using Git, JavaScript, and other tools a plus
- Experience writing unit and integration tests
- Great communication skills
- Passion for fighting software complexity
- Can-do attitude with a good sense of humor
- Ability to work autonomously. Expect support, but not a babysitter.
We Offer
Lean startup salary, coffee subsidy, the chance to change the world. We’re a tight-knit group and have a lot of fun!
