We use AI to modernise legacy code

Tl;dr

Core Rust engineering role at a startup backed by Y Combinator and leading VCs, building tools that directly help software engineers.

Background

bloop's automatic code translation solution automates the menial task of moving code between a source and target language. Traditional approaches to this problem result in code that is unreadable, and the alternative of rewriting a system from scratch is unfeasibly expensive for many projects. We're pioneering a novel approach to this age-old problem, building on our expertise in solving coding problems with LLMs.

What's the role?

We're automating code translation between two programming languages. To do this we're developing pipelines that utilise source to source compilers and LLMs that can scale to support massive amounts of code.

You'll work at the heart of this, collaborating with a small, talented team to design and implement the core engine that powers the pipeline. You'll work on the forefront of compilers, automated testing, LLMs (training and local inference) and static analysis.

• ANTLR
• Programming languages and compilers

You'll be joining a small group of engineers who are obsessed with the challenges posed by code translation, and who want to build tools to improve the process of writing and maintaining software.

Key requirements

• Proficiency in Rust
• Understanding compiler design
• Understanding programming language design
• (Bonus) Experience with static analysis

Benefits and Perks

• Up to ~0.5% options
• Competitive salary
• 25 days holiday, in addition to bank holidays
• Top tier private medical insurance
