Software Engineer, JVM Platform Engineering

What you'll do

• Design and code performance-critical Java components for query engines and storage connectors.
• Implement thread-safe data structures and parallel pipelines to eliminate race conditions and deadlocks.
• Profile and tune JVM garbage collection settings to remove latency outliers in production.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline automation and debug customer-reported issues related to JVM health.
• Mentor team members on JVM best practices, including tuning and concurrency patterns.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of professional Java engineering with at least 2 years in performance-critical production environments.
• Mastery of modern Java (v17+) and deep understanding of concurrency primitives and the standard library.
• Expertise in JVM garbage collection tuning and profiling using tools like async-profiler, JFR, and heap dumps.
• Proficiency in concurrent programming techniques including java.util.concurrent and lock-free algorithms.
• Ability to document tuning decisions and communicate JVM behavior effectively to non-experts.
