Job description
DESCRIPTIONAre you someone who has a desire to innovate in the language runtime space to increase performance and observability?The JDK organisation is looking for engineers.In 2018, the AWS JDK team migrated Amazon’s default JDK to OpenJDK.

Because of this, we have a vested interest in running the best-possible JDK in areas like security and performance.About AWSDiverse Experiences
