Gradle - Job Offers

We are looking for a passionate Developer Productivity Engineer with a demonstrated ability to accelerate developer productivity through optimizing speed and reliability of feedback cycles and increasing the degree of automation.

About the project:

The Gradle Build Tool project is thoroughly tested on different operating systems, Java versions etc. Also, all performance tests run on every commit to the source code repository. As a result, about 80 thousand tests run before integrating a change into the main branch and 40 thousand builds run every week on our CI system. This presents a big engineering challenge on its own and requires a sophisticated infrastructure using hundreds of build agents, including dynamically added capacity with AWS, and a Kubernetes cluster for test distribution.

To learn more about how the Gradle Build Tool project is built, see also the interview with Stefan Wolf, the current leader of our Developer Productivity Team at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MSxJPhr4Eo.
