Original posting
Formal | Founding Software Engineer (Compilers, Verification) | REMOTE | Full-Time | >= $200k + 0.5% equity
We're rethinking the computing stack from the ground up for truly elastic, soundly isolated, instantly and globally available execution. We’re building OS interfaces and compilers for low overhead, formally verified isolation without containers or VMs. We're starting with the network: a programming language to replace eBPF and enable globally programmable networking as a service.
We are a 4-person, VC-funded team with PhDs from Stanford, UW, and OSU, advised by professors from MIT and UWaterloo. We are hiring founding-level software engineers [1] in compilers, programming languages, & verification.
Please email us at (work at formalstack dot com) and let us know how you fit the role [1]. While we are only able to move forward with strictly qualifying applicants at this time, we welcome conversations with anyone interested.
