As part of our team, you will:
Create and maintain foundational libraries for Kotlin core primitives that are used by hundreds of thousands of developers
Become an expert in specific domains of computer science and software engineering
Be part of a design committee that decides how the Kotlin API should be shaped
Participate in creating standard Kotlin tools, specifications and language features

JVM development experience down to the implementation details of the Java standard library
Strong understanding of the domain you've been working with
