Employer job description
From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The Java Runtimes Team (JRT) owns and advances the Java runtime that powers a large share of Amazon's production services. We work at the intersection of language runtimes, compilers, and hardware — tuning the JVM and its ecosystem so that thousands of services run faster, use less memory, and scale more efficiently across x86 and Graviton (AArch64) fleets. We contribute directly to OpenJDK and our Corretto JDK, and we build the tooling that turns deep runtime expertise into automated, fleet-wide performance gains.
We are hiring a Runtime Engineer to work across three closely-linked areas: the JIT compiler, garbage collection, and systems-level software optimization. You will profile real production workloads, identify runtime bottlenecks, prototype and land improvements in the JVM, and help encode that expertise into tools that scale beyond one-to-one consultation.
