Software Developer 4

We hire developers to write code to test code. Our goal is to have engineers writing robust, reliable, repeatable and maintainable tests that find issues early and cover the area of the component under testing. Our quality engineers are in the product source code as much as they are working with test source code and are building the framework used for testing. Growth in this role means growing as an engineer: strong designs that are built to last, deep security knowledge and broad scenario experience will be measures of success as a candidate grows in this role.

As a member of the JVM Quality team, you will work with the world class engineers in JVM and get to work on most current enhancements of Java Hotspot Virtual Machine to ensure they are of high quality. This involves complex test development and automation adhering to secure coding guidelines, writing new frameworks, bug escape analysis, regression testing and code coverage analysis. This would enable you to get a deeper understanding of JVM internals such as GC, Runtime, JIT Compilers etc. This role would involve extensive debugging/trouble-shooting across multiple platform variants and identifying product issues deep in Java/JVM code.
