What is Kotlin?

Kotlin is a modern programming language that helps developers make fewer errors in their code and be more productive. You can use Kotlin to develop Android and iOS apps, frontend and backend web projects, data science scripts, and executable files for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Gravity

What are you going to do?

Be an expert in a programming language

Every day, support engineers are challenged to investigate the issue, regardless of where it is –compiler, IDE plugin, Build Tools, Multiplatform, etc. Isn't that interesting?

Help users

You can rewrite the user's code, propose a workaround, or just talk directly to the user and get feedback right away! Awesome!

Manage a public issue tracker

You'll be responsible for a substantial public issue tracker. We are open to new ideas and strive to improve every day!

Try more!

Sometimes we work as QA engineers, sometimes as Product Managers, and even as developers! If you can fix a minor bug – just do it!

What do we expect from you?

We are looking for a support engineer who will:

  • Respond to user requests, identify issues, and provide users with all the necessary information to help resolve their issues.
  • Inform developers about reproducible bugs and issues that need to be addressed.

Basic qualifications:

  • Ability to process a large number of requests, willingness to listen to users and understand the essence of their demands and difficulties.
  • Good command of written technical English.
  • Skills in reproducing bugs and the ability to shorten their descriptions.
  • Familiarity with any JVM programming language: Kotlin, Java, Scala, Groovy, etc.

Who are we?

We are a young team with similar views. Some of us were developers in the past, some have been support engineers, and one of us even was a Site Reliability Engineer.

Challenges

We love challenges at work and in everyday life. It doesn’t matter if it's an intellectual game, quest, or sports challenge – we are a team!

Learning

Every day we learn new things because Kotlin is a huge project that is constantly developing. Do you want to dig into the compiler or IDE? Maybe Gradle or Multiplatform?

Activities

We have informal meetings to share thoughts about traveling, new technologies, devices, etc. Sometimes we go bowling, visit cafes, or just go for a walk together.

World

Our team works in different cities and countries. We have no barriers in these remote-working times! Want to go to the office? No worries, our offices are cool!

Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.
