Dynamic Language Position on the CLR team at Microsoft

  • Artykuł

You may have noticed that I've been really bad about writing in this blog since I joined Microsoft two months ago.  A big part of my problem has been that there are a TON of interesting things going on around this company that touch on the dynamic language space.  All of these distractions have left me without the time to spend talking to the external community.

The good news is that I now get to hire another member to join the CLR team working full-time on dynamic languages.  Having another person working on this project should give us enough time to really make a big impact on this exciting space.

Make the Common Language Runtime (CLR) an outstanding platform for dynamic languages and environments. You will be a key developer working on the CLR managed services team. Your first task will be to help finish the implementation of Python for the CLR (see https://ironpython.com/) so that we can show other developers how a high-performance production-quality dynamic language is implemented for this platform. Future work will likely involve addressing difficult implementation challenges for other dynamic languages and environments. A central part of this job will be working with the developer community. You will work both with developers who are trying to use dynamic languages on the CLR and those who are trying to develop dynamic languages for this platform. You will also work to identify and implement improvements to the CLR to enable us to provide the best possible experience for dynamic languages in the future.

We're looking for a talented developer with exceptional programming ability and great communication skills. It's a plus if you have expertise in compiler implementation, reflection, VM implementation and/or dynamic languages. Applicants should have at least 4 years experience in software development and a BS/MS in computer science or related field.

If you're interested in this position, I'd encourage you to both apply through the official channels and to send me your resume directly (jimhug at you know what company.com).
