Subject: Internship opportunities at Uber Programming Systems Group
To:
Dear Changhee,
My team at Uber is doing research into various areas of Programming
Languages in the context of Uber’s technology stack and we are currently
looking for Ph.D. students that would be interested to help us with some
interesting projects during 2019 summer internships.
Our team is aiming to build tools to improve performance, reliability, and
developer productivity across a variety of languages, including Java
(mobile and backend), Swift, and Go. The work includes static and dynamic
analysis, compiler optimizations as well as performance evaluation and
tooling work at the language runtime and OS system levels. We mostly work
on open source projects - recent examples include the NullAway (
https://github.com/uber/NullAway), RxThreadEffectChecker (
https://github.com/uber-research/RxThreadEffectChecker), and Nanoscope (
https://github.com/uber/nanoscope/wiki/Trace-Extensions). These tools are,
of course, also broadly used internally at Uber.
While our team has been established only recently, its members are
experienced researchers, and our interns have been quite successful in
publishing results of their summer internship research, including ASE 2018 (
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.02998.pdf) and VMIL 2018 (
http://t.uber.com/nanoscope_paper) publications, with a few more papers
currently in the pipeline.
I would really appreciate it if you could pass information about
opportunities within our team to your students and colleagues. An official
description of the internship position can be found at
https://www.uber.com/en-ES/careers/list/45369, but interested students
should send a separate email (also in case they need more information) to m
ilind@uber.com.
Sincerely,
Milind Chabbi
