Summary Generated by Built In

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.

JetBrains is looking for a QA Engineer to join the Kotlin Compiler team (https://kotlinlang.org/).

Kotlin's mission is to break the barriers that arise on the way from an idea to a working implementation. Our goal is to create a modern programming language that will be enjoyed by a wide range of developers. To make this happen, we're investing in both developing the language and compiler and in building a Kotlin ecosystem, which includes plugins for popular IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio), plugins for build tools (Maven and Gradle), supporting libraries, and more. At the moment, we are looking for a QA Engineer to join the Compiler team and work at the very heart of the language.

Typical responsibilities of a Kotlin Compiler QA Engineer: 
  • Working in tandem with a programmer on exploratory testing of new language functionality as well as changes (warnings, deprecations) to the existing functionality.
  • Testing new language constructs.
  • Searching for and localizing bugs, submitting the results to our issue tracker, and doing regression testing for code fixes.
  • Taking part in planning, including creating plans for testing the corresponding changes.
  • We expect our new teammate to be comfortable working independently and good at managing tasks. They should be prepared to explore and analyze the subject area while applying their knowledge to search for and highlight existing and potential problems. We'll be happy to have you on our team if you're not afraid of learning new things, showing initiative, and taking charge. We have a large team of developers who are very approachable and willing to answer questions and explain technical details.

We understand that there are not so many Compiler QAs in the world, but there are a lot more people who are curious and eager to write and debug code, explore new things, and work with automation. If this sounds like you, be sure to write to us – we will teach you everything you need to know!

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

  • Familiarity with Kotlin as a programming language as well as knowledge of its features and how they combine and interact. Knowledge of other programming languages would be a plus.
  • The ability to write code at the level sufficient to create test examples and simple programs.
  • The ability to master new programming languages and technologies.
  • Experience in working with an IDE, bug trackers, version control systems, and continuous integration systems.
