#rust #compiler #jit #ruby

Staff Compiler Engineer (Rust YJIT)
Shopify
Fully remote job. We are able to hire from almost anywhere in North-America and Europe

The YJIT project is one of those efforts, developing a new JIT compiler for the Ruby programming language. The project is based on a technique called Lazy Basic Block Versioning that was developed by the technical lead of the project, Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert, during her PhD. Aligned with the mandate of the Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team to improve performance for Rails applications, YJIT is able to run Rails workloads, as well as other kinds of Ruby applications up to 30% faster.

You'll primarily be working on:
• The Rust YJIT codebase that integrates with CRuby
• Implementing a new backend for the YJIT compiler that is able to target both x86-64 and ARM processors.
• Benchmarking the existing implementations, finding bottlenecks and implementing optimizations.
• Building a mechanism for YJIT to use less memory by developing and implementing techniques for code garbage collection.
• Collaborating with other Shopify developers to understand their needs and ensure our team works on the right things.
