Implements focused enhancements to OpenJDK compiler components and troubleshoots correctness and performance issues using established development and testing practices. Analyzes generated code and test results, contributes to support for evolving Java features, and collaborates with Java platform and OCI teams to help maintain reliable Java execution.\n Key Responsibilities\nJVM JIT Compiler Development:\nDevelops and tests focused enhancements to OpenJDK JIT compilers, including work involving type systems, optimizations, vector operations, and processor-specific code generation.\nContributes to compiler support for evolving Java features, including value classes developed through Project Valhalla.\nValidates compiler changes across supported platforms and Java features to preserve program behavior and prevent performance regressions.\nSoftware Development, Testing, and Optimization:\nAnalyzes compiler and runtime requirements and contributes to the design of JIT optimizations with limited guidance.\nDevelops and reviews code following design specifications and OpenJDK development practices.\nInvestigates incorrect program results, compilation failures, compiler crashes, excessive resource use, and performance regressions.\nDevelops fixes for identified issues and verifies them through targeted, exhaustive, or randomized testing, as appropriate.\nAnalyzes generated assembly, compiler diagnostics, and benchmark results to assess correctness and performance.\nContributes improvements to compiler diagnostics, tests, and documentation.\nIssue and Defect Collaboration:\nCollaborates within the Java Platform Group and with OCI teams to understand issues, investigate causes, and align on solutions.\nCommunicates findings and proposed fixes to colleagues and participates in code review.\nEscalates broader design or cross-component issues to experienced engineers as needed.\nDevelopment Practices and System Maintenance:\nFollows established coding, security, testing, and release practices.\nMaintains compiler tests and investigates interactions between compiled code, the JVM runtime, and garbage collection.\nIdentifies small improvements to debugging, verification, and development workflows.\nCore Responsibilities\nPlanning and Execution: Tracks assigned work and adjusts priorities with guidance as requirements or timelines change.\nCollaboration and Partnership: Works with teammates and partner teams to understand technical needs and achieve shared objectives.\nProblem Solving: Gathers evidence from tests, generated code, benchmarks, and issue reports to troubleshoot standard and some non-standard problems.\nContinuous Learning and Improvement: Develops expertise in compiler and runtime systems, applies feedback, and contributes to improvements in team practices.\nQualifications\nExperience developing or debugging compilers, virtual machines, runtimes, or comparable systems software.\nHands-on experience with JVM internals and JIT compiler development or debugging.\nExperience working with the OpenJDK codebase and its development practices.\nStrong proficiency in C++, including developing and debugging complex systems software.\nProgramming experience in Java.\nExperience applying compiler concepts such as intermediate representations, optimization, type systems, or code generation.\nUnderstanding of processor architecture and its relationship to generated code.\nFamiliarity with interactions between JIT-compiled code and garbage collection.\nExperience using benchmarks or performance profiles to evaluate software changes.\nExperience analyzing generated assembly to diagnose correctness or performance issues.\nAbility to investigate complex defects, validate fixes with tests, and communicate technical findings.\nHelpful experience: Vectorization, randomized compiler testing, or cross-platform compiler testing.\n Disclaimer:Certain U.S. based or U.S. customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization/occupational health mandates, and/or drug testing requirements.\nRange and benefit information provided in this posting are specific to the stated locations only\nUS: Hiring Range in USD from: $79,600 to $166,100 per annum. May be eligible for bonus and equity.\nOracle maintains broad salary ranges for its roles in order to account for variations in knowledge, skills, experience, market conditions and locations, as well as reflect Oracle's differing products, industries and lines of business.\nCandidates are typically placed into the range based on the preceding factors as well as internal peer equity.\nOracle US offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes the following:\n1. Medical, dental, and vision insurance, including expert medical opinion\n2. Short term disability and long term disability\n3. Life insurance and AD&D\n4. Supplemental life insurance (Employee/Spouse/Child)\n5. Health care and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts\n6. Pre-tax commuter and parking benefits\n7. 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan with company match\n8. Paid time off: Flexible Vacation is provided to all eligible employees assigned to a salaried (non-overtime eligible) position. Accrued Vacation is provided to all other employees eligible for vacation benefits. For employees working at least 35 hours per week, the vacation accrual rate is 13 days annually for the first three years of employment and 18 days annually for subsequent years of employment. Vacation accrual is prorated for employees working between 20 and 34 hours per week. Employees working fewer than 20 hours per week are not eligible for vacation.\n9. 11 paid holidays\n10. Paid sick leave: 72 hours of paid sick leave upon date of hire. Refreshes each calendar year. Unused balance will carry over each year up to a maximum cap of 112 hours.\n11. Paid parental leave\n12. Adoption assistance\n13. Employee Stock Purchase Plan\n14. Financial planning and group legal\n15.
