Microsoft Research is looking to hire a short-term contractor (part-time, for 3—6 months with some possibility for extension) to work on F* and Project Everest. See https://fstar-lang.org and https://project-everest.github.io for more information.

An ideal candidate would have several of the following skills:

• OCaml, including ocamlbuild
• Makefiles and build systems
• Emacs and elisp
• Docker
• Git
• Willingness to work with bleeding edge research tools
• Ability to work in geographically distributed environment (flexible with timezones, good at written communication, etc.)
• Some understanding of, or at least curiosity to learn about, program verification

The work would not necessarily lead to publishable research, but it would involve working in an engineering role on open-source software, in close collaboration (though remotely) with a large PL/Systems/Security research team.

Please reply directly to me (nswamy@microsoft.com) if you are interested.

Best regards,

Nik
