"they're looking for someone to work on a C# to native code compiler"

I wouldn't read too much into that. My guess is they are looking for something easier to work with for device driver developers.

I'm not even sure why that's necessary. If you need a block of performant code, use unsafe C# (no array bounds checking, unmanaged pointers, etc). Otherwise, C# runs pretty fast the way it is.

I don't think it would be a speed thing. It would let you write C# that ran in kernel space without needing the CLR.
