llvm dev - Jun 2010 - [LLVMdev] Fwd: Programming Language Design and Compilers

My apologies for posting something that is not LLVM-related but this is a lot of
money -- a lot more than I thought you could make as a compiler hacker! -- so I
wanted to forward it to all of you.  Please contact Gary Stute directly if
you're interested.

Hi Professor Adve,

My name is Gary Stute and I'm part of a group of headhunters out here in
Seattle.  We spend most of our time helping to start quant-style hedge funds and
technology companies.  We also recruit for some more-established firms as well. 
The two most well-known companies that we have helped to start are probably DE
Shaw and Amazon.com<http://Amazon.com>.

I'm reaching out to you because of your association with the LLVM compiler
project.  I'm currently working with Morgan Stanley to help them grow their
team that is responsible for the design and implementation of a proprietary
programming language.  The project has been underway for about a year or so, but
there remain many design decisions to make.  To help make this language a
reality, we are looking to recruit developers who have a background in language
design, compilers, or programming tools and libraries.  We are looking to draw
people from both academia and from industry.  A sr. developer on our team could
probably expect to earn around $300k-$400k a year.

While I doubt that you would be interested in a position like this, my hope is
that you might know some talented people in industry or academia that I should
speak with.  I'd be happy to discuss this with you more on the phone. 
I'm normally in the office between 10am and 8pm CST.  When would be a good
time for us to chat?

Cheers,

Gary Stute
