Ask HN: How to get a job as a compiler engineer?
"attribute grammar" and "novel" in the same statement? Whoa! I tried to publish a paper ~15 years ago on attribute grammars … without success and non-constructive review feedback. I am not aware of any company making use of attribute grammars in production. I had the goal of making use of attribute grammars as part of https://github.com/mozilla-spidermonkey/jsparagus (SmooshMonkey), but making a JavaScript parser generator which is as efficient as our hand-written parser is already surprisingly difficult, and the COVID ended the project.
On the topic of finding a job … I would be of no help. The only internships/jobs I found so far were all outside the usual applications forms:

Seeking advice: Should I continue my Web Developer job or pursue my passion for compilers?
It’s definitely a small niche, but it’s not quite as small as you would think. I have recruiters reaching out to me about compiler positions once or twice a month. There’s a good list of companies here: https://github.com/mgaudet/CompilerJobs

There is a list of companies doing compiler work here: https://github.com/mgaudet/CompilerJobs . I would recommend surveying the ones that have openings, gathering the listed knowledge requirements, choosing the ones that come up most often and then learning that.
