Software Developer (Ktor Framework)

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.

We are looking for a Software Developer to join the core team developing Ktor, an asynchronous framework for building connected applications.

Ktor provides an HTTP server and client stack with multiple low-level subsystems (I/O, networking, protocols, etc.) and a rich set of extensible features. The team works on both evolving existing functionality and designing new framework capabilities.

In this role, you will:

• Work on the core of the Ktor framework.
• Develop and improve HTTP server and client subsystems.
• Design and implement new framework features and extensions.
• Maintain and improve the existing codebase with a focus on quality, performance, and reliability.
• Participate in design discussions and code reviews.
• Collaborate closely with other developers and contributors.

We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you have:

• Solid experience with Kotlin.
• Good knowledge of algorithms and data structures.
• The ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• The ability to clearly express and justify technical decisions.
• Working proficiency in written and spoken English.
  
  

We’d be especially thrilled if you have:

• Experience with web technologies and application frameworks.
• An understanding of HTTP, REST, and networking concepts.
• Experience with non-JVM platforms or frameworks.
• Experience with library API design and versioning.
