About the role

Tangram Flex is seeking a Software Engineer with Language Development Experience to help design, develop, and optimize core interpreter/transpiler infrastructure and language toolchains. In this role, you will work at the intersection of programming language design, hardware architecture, and systems engineering by translating high-level abstractions into high-performance, production-ready machine code. Whether you are optimizing intermediate representations (IR), building custom front-ends/back-ends, or tuning domain-specific code generators (e.g., native compilers, DSLs, or transpilers).

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or an equivalent technical field.
• Minimum of 3+ years of working on compilers, interpreters, or transpilers for parallel architectures.

• Programming languages: Systems programming language experience, such as C, C++, Rust, etc.
• Includes raw memory management, performance optimization, and modern best practices.
• Interpreter Fundamentals: Deep understanding of modern interpreter and/or transpiler architecture (lexing/parsing, ASTs, intermediate representations, control/data-flow analysis, and optimization passes).
• Target Architectures: Solid understanding of computer architectures (x86, ARM, RISC-V) and assembly language.
• Proven experience creating or extending language grammars.
• Travel required occasionally for customer support and presentations
• Work is performed in Dayton, Ohio
• Experience with production compiler frameworks (e.g., LLVM, GCC, MLIR, Cranelift, or NVVM).
