Job Vacancy: Postdoctoral Researcher in Build Dependency Analytics

Modern software solutions require the effective orchestration of a complex set of tools, e.g., compilers, test harnesses, packaging and releasing tools, and deployment and monitoring dashboards. At the core of this so-called "pipeline" is the build system, which weaves these tools together to perform cohesive (incremental) operations. While build systems provide mission-critical features for software teams, they must be carefully maintained to avoid drifting out of sync with the other software artifacts it is tasked with building (e.g., source code, tests, container descriptions). In this project, we will develop solutions to automatically detect and correct out-of-date build specifications.
