Tl;dr

Core Rust engineering role at a startup backed by Y Combinator and leading VCs, building an AI code translation system.

Background

bloop's automatic code translation solution automates the menial task of translating code from one language to another. Traditional approaches to this problem produce 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, 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 a pipeline that combines static transpilers with 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 static analysis, automated testing and LLM code editing.

You'll love what we're working on if you're interested in

• Tree-sitter, Rust-sitter and other parsers
• Programming language and compiler implementation
• SWE-bench

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.
