The FreeBSD Foundation is searching for a developer to improve OpenJDK on FreeBSD/amd64 and FreeBSD/arm64. Our OpenJDK ports use many local patches that would ideally become part of mainline OpenJDK. In the past, upstream was willing to accept this work under the following conditions:
- The FreeBSD port must pass the JCK test suite.
- New changes must be tested.
- FreeBSD support must be added for new mandatory features.
Other tasks may include:
- Setting up OpenJDK CI for FreeBSD
- Handling bug reports related to running Java on FreeBSD
- Working to build a community around Java on FreeBSD
Required skills:
- Strong C/C++ background
- Strong systems programming background
- Familiarity with Java
The contract is for a six-month term with a possible renewal at the end of the period.
Please send your cover letter and resume to jobs@freebsdfoundation.org.
