We’re looking for a senior Java software development engineer to join the Core team, the group responsible for the engine at the heart of the Hazelcast Platform. This distributed, Java-based system combines low-latency data storage, in-place compute and stream processing across clusters of machines.

Work on distributed systems problems

Develop production systems
Write clean, well-tested Java code for long-running clustered systems that must remain reliable, observable and predictable in production.

Contribute to architecture

Collaborate with experienced engineers and architects to shape the design and evolution of the platform’s core runtime.

Raise the Engineering Bar

Participate in design discussions, code reviews and mentoring to maintain the high standards of the Core team.

Must have 
  • Strong proficiency in Java and the JVM ecosystem
  • Experience building backend platforms or complex systems
  • Solid understanding of concurrency and multithreaded programming
  • Experience designing reliable system components and APIs
  • Ability to debug and reason about complex production systems
Nice to have
