JVM Tooling Engineer

We are #VLteam – tech enthusiasts constantly striving for growth. The team is our foundation, that’s why we care the most about the friendly atmosphere, a lot of self-development opportunities and good working conditions. Trust and autonomy are two essential qualities that drive our performance. We simply believe in the idea of ​​“measuring outcomes, not hours”. Join us & see for yourself
Project scope:
We are working with one of the largest JVM-based codebases in the world. We create and maintain tooling that allows over a thousand of active developers to work painlessly on a shared codebase. We merge over a hundred PRs and run hundreds of thousands of tests every day. Our team provides all the support for that, from custom compilers, through formatters, IntelliJ plugins, Jenkins CI/CD infrastructure to the Web tooling integrated with BitBucket for easier PR management and more.
Tech stack:
JVM, Scala 2, Java (8-20), Groovy, Python
Challenges:
Tweaking git, IntelliJ, Bitbucket, Jenkins and other OSS tools to work well in a very large codebase. Debugging issues that Google returns 0 results for. Creating reliable code that does not end up with a ton of support overhead. Planning and managing your own tasks.
Team:
15 people in the team, distributed between North America, Europe and Asia. Direct project manager from the US. QA for the releases of our tooling is done by us.

Willingness to work on a project mainly in the Scala programming language (possibility to learn Scala in this project) .
Experience with Java, Scala or other JVM-based language.
Experience with building complex software systems.
Solid knowledge and understanding of structures, algorithms, and general programming principles.
Excellent communication skills and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
Ability to work as a part of a team and communicate well.
Experience with extending developer tooling: IDEs, CI/CD systems.
Experience with Python tooling (nice to have).
Experience with design and creation of GUI applications (nice to have).
