Job Description

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who will help us diagnose, debug and resolve bugs reported by our customers as well as improving the overall quality and stability of the JVM. Here in the Stockholm office, we have the unique access to some of the people that actually created the HotSpot JVM. You will be working in partnership with the JVM development team, and support team. With our teams available around the world, there will be some limited travel necessary, although our colleagues are never further away than a zoom call.

In our team, you will get the opportunity to work on problems that impact stability of Java in production, and the ideal candidate will have the opportunity to grow their problem-solving skills. Besides actually developing code fixes for JVM issues, solutions also include suggesting configuration changes, switching garbage collectors, or advising customers to use different approaches in their solutions. In short you'll learn to work with the entire software stack, from machine code up to grasping high level application usage. At the same time that we are generalists, it's also encouraged to have a special interest within the JVM, on areas such as byte code compiler, build infrastructure, or the various flavors of garbage collection.

Being part of the Java Platform Group, you'll also work with the OpenJDK community, and contribute to one of world’s most used open-source project. It is also encouraged to attend conferences, write blogs, and do other community outreach
