Project 1

Scala ecosystem

📝 Project scope

The project builds and maintains core tools used daily by Scala developers, including the Scala 3 compiler, Metals, Scala CLI, and Scala Native. It supports the global migration to Scala 3 and focuses on improving developer productivity by solving complex technical challenges that impact hundreds of users. The team works across a specialized ecosystem where performance gains, such as significantly faster compilation times, directly enhance development workflows.

🛠 Tech stack

Scala (2 and 3), VS Code, Coursier, Akka, Cats, ZIO, GCP, AWS, Azure, Postgres

🤝 Team

The team consists of 12 engineers organized into specialized subteams, each focused on different areas of the Scala ecosystem. They bring strong domain expertise in Scala and collaborate closely to build tools that directly support other developers.

Project 2

R-sphere

📝 Project scope

The project supports one of the world’s largest JVM-based codebases, enabling over a thousand developers to collaborate efficiently. It focuses on building and maintaining internal tools that streamline software development processes such as testing, code reviews, and integration. The team ensures high reliability across hundreds of daily pull requests and test executions.

🛠 Tech stack

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

🤝 Team

The team consists of over 10 experienced engineers distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia. They specialize in JVM-based development and collaborate closely to build robust internal tools that support large-scale software engineering workflows.

What we expect in general
