Job description
Engineering at source{d}

Engineering consists of five different teams that represent the architecture of our product:

• Applications (Scala, Go, Python, and Frontend tools): Builds CLI/Web applications combining ML research with our stack.

• Machine Learning (C++ and Python): Performs R&D for Machine Learning on Source Code.

• Data Retrieval (Scala and Go): Builds the technology that finds, fetches, stores and analyzes over +60M Git repositories.

• Language Analysis (Go and another +15): Focused on Babelfish, the universal code parsing server.

• Infrastructure (Go and Python): Manages a cluster of on-prem bare metal servers with Kubernetes and CoreOS, and GCP for user facing applications.

We care about Open Source. Everything we develop is available for anyone to read, modify, and contribute (under Apache 2.0 or GPL3 license). Some examples of our projects are:

• bblfsh/bblfshd: Babelfish server, turning code into Universal Abstract Syntax Trees (UASTs).

• src-d/engine: a library for running scalable data retrieval pipelines that process any number of Git repositories for source code analysis.

• src-d/go-git: a highly extensible Git implementation in pure Go.

• src-d/ml: a library to build and apply Machine Learning models on top of Universal Abstract Syntax Trees.

If you are interested in understanding how we do code reviews, please take a look at the PRs on any of these projects. You can also learn more about our engineering methodology here.

Skills & requirements
Role

The Language Analysis team is developing source{d} tools and libraries for generating and processing universal abstract syntax trees for programming languages. These components are integrated into the Babelfish Open Source project, written in Go, C++, Scala, and any other language that we're parsing.

• Babelfish powers the cutting-edge research that our Machine Learning team does on their ambitious mission to provide Machine Learning on Source Code. Our tools also are being used by a community of developers, researchers, and companies across the world in order to do vanguard research and build the next generation of developer tools.

• Being passionate about programming languages is important as well as an interest in the lexing/parsing/semantic analysis of programming language's interpreters and compilers.

• You'll be expected be experienced programming in at least two languages and have strong good algorithmic skills. Our main language is Go, but prior experience is not a requirement; we strongly believe that it can be learned easily by any skilled developer and care a lot more about our team's mindset and prior experience than any specific languages.

• Modern C++ knowledge and experience would be considered a plus.
