Software Development Engineer, Performance and ObservabilityJob ID: 2755874 | Amazon Development Centre Ireland Limited
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 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.
