Senior SDE, Performance and Observability

DESCRIPTION
Are you someone who has a desire to innovate in the language runtime space to increase performance and observability?
The JDK organisation is looking for senior engineers.
In 2018, the AWS JDK team migrated Amazon's default JDK to OpenJDK. In order to do this we built rigorous security and quality mechanisms around OpenJDK. We're now able to apply security and Amazon custom patches to the internal OpenJDK as soon as they're available. In early 2019, we took this work public and launched Amazon Corretto, our distribution of OpenJDK. With Corretto, we make our work on OpenJDK available to our customers and the OpenJDK community at large.
We believe that a solid technical foundation and a strong interest in the subject matter can make you successful on the team and we have the opportunities to help you learn and grow in this space. Knowledge and experience in related technologies are generally applicable and valuable.
Java is used for the majority of services in Amazon and nearly all public-facing AWS services. Because of this, we have a vested interest in running the best-possible JDK in areas like security and performance.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
- Experience leading the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and current systems
- Experience in professional, non-internship software development
- Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Java, C++, or C# including object-oriented design
- Bachelor's degree

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations

Key job responsibilities
• Design and develop sophisticated features in profiling tools and in the Java runtime
• Contribute to performance optimization and compliance with industry standard JVM specification
• Contribute to the design of future runtime features, and work with teams and services inside AWS to solve their business challenges
• Support existing deployments of our product on an ongoing basis, and address any critical issues in live deployments

About the team
Amazon Corretto is Amazon's distribution of OpenJDK, used to run our thousands of Java services and also deployed by many AWS customers. The Corretto team is focused on improving OpenJDK for all Java users by focusing on performance, particularly on ARM64 as used by AWS' Graviton range of processors, and features like the Generational Shenandoah garbage collector. We work with the community to help maintain the Long-Term Supported (LTS) versions of OpenJDK as well as contribute to the bleeding edge. We are looking to expand the Corretto team to participate even more in the community and contribute to the long-term success of OpenJDK as a platform.

While Corretto is a relative newcomer to the scene, our team is composed of OpenJDK Authors, Committers, and Reviewers, some with decades of experience in JDK, languages, compilers, and managed runtimes. We learn about where to invest in OpenJDK from running some of the world's largest Java services. We are firm believers in Open Source and are looking for like-minded people who are interested in working in the open with the community.

Amazon is an equal opportunities employer. We believe passionately that employing a diverse workforce is central to our success. We make recruiting decisions based on your experience and skills. We value your passion to discover, invent, simplify and build. Protecting your privacy and the security of your data is a longstanding top priority for Amazon.
