Project scope

Have you ever thought about working on a project where all users are Scala Developers?

We are working in a unique niche as we are creating tools for Scala developers. The tools include the Scala 3 compiler itself, Metals. Scala CLI, Scala Native, and more. Our team is responsible for the development and maintenance of Scala 3 and other critical parts of the ecosystem and driving migration to Scala 3 for many companies and organisations.

Our work changes how hundreds of developers work each day, and our solutions make a difference (e.g., by cutting the compilation times by an order of magnitude). Our mission is to make Scala as productive and accessible as possible. We often have to find impossible solutions or workarounds to problems that may seem unsolvable. If you are looking for a career where you have an interesting problem to debug each week and always have a code-related story to tell, then you are looking at the right position.

The team publishes content on various Social Media (see Scala Space) as well as presenting at meetups/conferences, so we are keen to work with people open to publicly sharing their knowledge and ideas.

Project scope

We are working with one of the largest JVM-based codebases in the world. We create and maintain tooling that allows over a thousand active developers to work painlessly on a shared codebase. We merge over a hundred PRs and run hundreds of thousands of tests every day. Our team builds and maintains internal tooling to manage SDLC processes, with focus on test infrastructure, code reviews and integration testing. Most of the code is written in Scala but it often needs to be integrated with git, BitBucket, Jira and various other systems. The team needs to understand and solve problems quickly, always with a bigger picture in mind.

Tech stack

JVM, Scala 2.13, Java (8-20+), Groovy (in Jenkins pipelines), Python

Tools & Workflow

JIRA, BitBucket, git, Kanban, Windows via Citrix

Challenges

Building internal tooling to 100s of developers, often having different priorities, skills or understanding of their roles. Debugging issues that Google returns 0 results for. Creating reliable code that does not end up with a ton of support overhead. Planning and managing your tasks.

Team

10+ people in the team, distributed between North America, Europe, and Asia. Direct project manager from the US. No need to work outside standard hours.
