Senior Research Engineer Programming Languages & Developer Tools

Jobs for Humanity

We're looking for a visionary engineer with a deep interest in programming language design, developer experience, and system-level tooling. As a Senior Research Engineer, you will help design, prototype, and implement the next generation of developer-facing technologies. You’ll be joining a small, high-impact team focused on advancing the boundaries of how people program, learn to program, and interact with computing systems.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on language design, system architecture, and building developer tools from the ground up.

• Research, design, and implement new programming paradigms and tools, particularly for education and non-expert programmers.

• Lead the development of interpreters, compilers, or integrated development environments.

• Collaborate with academic and industry researchers to turn theoretical models into practical developer tools.

• Contribute to publications, workshops, and standards in the area of language design and software tooling.

• Explore human-computer interaction aspects of programming environments, particularly for teaching and accessibility.
