Immunant | Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.immunant.com

We're a small team dedicated to elimination of memory safety errors. We're maintaining the C2Rust tools and use it to move C code to Rust. See https://github.com/memorysafety/rav1d for an example of our recent work. Check out our github for (https://github.com/immunant) for other examples of the types of work we do.

If you're good at systems programming, we'd like to hear from you. Specifically, we're interested with folks who have significant experience in one or more of these technical areas:

- C/C++ and/or Rust (familiarity with assembly language is a plus) - Compilers for any of the above languages (LLVM experience is a plus) - Operating systems, hypervisors, firmware, bootloaders, JITs. - Build systems commonly used in the above technical areas.

Folks with superficial knowledge in one of these areas are not encouraged to apply. If you have experience managing software developers in addition to meeting the technical requirements, you are encouraged to reach out. Please note that we can only consider candidates resident in the US.

We offer a remote-friendly, highly collaborative work environment with high flexibility and competitive benefits.

Send your resume to team@immunant.com; we look forward to meeting you.

Is this really necessary to call out? Why discourage candidates from applying?


To me this sounds pedantic, a good argument for a discretionary recruiting process and a good indicator of a bad interview/work experience. Why don't they instead try to define what superficial means? What do they expect from candidates in a way that can be measured? How many years of professional/research experience?


I'd guess that in the past, they've had far too many "candidates" who weren't candidates.


Nobody who meets that definition of "superficial" will self-select out of the process after reading that. Good candidates may, however.


right. for high performing competent people who don't need to work, the top reason they'd bounce is if you come across like a bunch of jerks.
