> you are looking for a job in compilers? Hey, join the Alexa team!

Many, many projects could use someone who is good at compilers. Just look at all the terrible code that processes command lines, for example :-/ Or all those miserable config file formats. Or really, any sort of text processing.

Compiler guys also tend to be good at writing fast code, for the simple reasons that compilers have to be fast, and compiler guys know what code is generated from each construct, and will pick the faster ones.

While you aren’t wrong, I was thinking more from the perspective of “is this a job I would be interested in” rather than “is this a job where I would be useful.” Honestly, some of the recruiters I talked to were more interested in me knowing C# than any of my actual skills.
