The Performance team in the Java Platform Group is responsible for ensuring high performance and scalability of the Java Platform, Standard Edition.  We cover all aspects of Java SE including the Java language compiler and tools, class libraries and runtime environment, and the Java HotSpot virtual machine.

We are looking for a talented senior engineer to expand our efforts.  Duties and responsibilities of this position include measuring, analyzing and optimizing the performance of new Java features, identifying and resolving performance regressions and deficiencies in the Java runtime and libraries, and developing and deploying new benchmarks.  Working with Oracle’s product development, quality and sustaining engineering teams, external partners and the OpenJDK community is an essential part of the job.

This is a chance to join world-class developers who are creating and delivering new versions of Java SE.  It requires strong software development skills and expertise with performance analysis methodology and tools, along with the curiosity, desire and ability to root out performance problems.  Ideally, the candidate will have knowledge of the Java language and core libraries, Java virtual machine architecture (including bytecode execution, JIT compilation and code optimization, garbage collection, multithreading and synchronization), and processor architectures.  Experience with large Java applications, frameworks and benchmarks is a plus.  Good communication skills are necessary to collaborate with colleagues, present findings and work effectively with a variety of engineering teams to positively influence Java performance.
