Software Developer

Introduction
IBM Runtime Technologies develops and delivers enterprise quality & performance for Java applications via IBM Semeru Runtimes. As a member of our Open-Source Development team you will join the hundreds of developers actively contributing to our public GitHub projects using industry standard tools like Git ZenHub Jenkins and Slack. As an IBM Software Developer you are able to influence the whole stack optimization efforts in IBM from hardware design to OS to language runtime to middle-ware to cloud and cloud native applications. We work on a variety of architectures (x86 POWER z/Architecture ARM) and operating systems (Linux Windows Mac AIX z/OS).

The IBM Runtime Technologies team is looking to hire self-motivated Quality Assurance (QA) software developers to join our QA Automation team. The QA Automation team develops software solutions to better enable verification across these different platforms and additionally in containerized cloud environments. We cover a wide range of testing including functional regression system load performance and compliance testing and are constantly looking for new approaches to improve how we verify software. Some of our upcoming projects include enhancing how we run gather and visualize performance benchmarks application of machine learning to some of our greatest verification challenges including compiler testing and results triage.

While the team environment is highly collaborative individuals are also expected to operate with a level of autonomy and responsibility that leads to quality software practices and delivering business results. Will you join us and help shape the future for runtime technologies?
