Title (Talk #1 of 10): Compiler Engineer Careers
About:
Compiler based technologies underpin a lot of software - from Computational photography, EDA tools, Debuggers, Code Formatters and Sanitizers to Linters, Coverage tools and many more. An understanding of how to utilize all the features offered by a compiler can significantly enhance any engineers productivity. Compiler Development in itself is a thriving field of engineering - Join us to take a deep dive into compiler tooling!
What is a day like in the life of a compiler engineer? what companies and organizations hire compiler developers? what do they work on? what is research in compilers like? what are the skills it takes to break into this field?
To answer these questions - join us in this virtual meetup where we discuss these questions and more!
