What You’ll Do Design new features based on technical requirements of Apache Kafka centric event-driven architectures, aligning with protocol mobile and IoT client capabilities, such as REST, WebSockets, HTTP/3, GraphQL, MQTT and AMQP. Anticipate Zilla runtime performance impact of design decisions, based on experience with different Java coding techniques such as flyweights vs object allocation and the corresponding latency introduced by garbage collection. Estimate implementation time based on experience with similar difficulty tasks to support delivery of project management milestones. Help map community enhancement requests to technical requirements by analyzing user needs and aligning with the high performance architecture of Aklivity Zilla project. What We’re Looking For A passion for working on deeply technical projects including distributed systems, concurrency & parallelism, application protocols, file systems & correctness. Solid understanding of the Java ecosystem (JVM, JRE, JDK). Solid understanding of web and network protocols and standards (HTTP, TLS, TCP/IP, DNS, etc). Solid understanding of messaging systems (Kafka, AMQP, MQTT, JMS) Excellent communication (verbal/written) and collaboration skills.
