Primary Job Responsibilities
At eBay, our systems scale to billions of transactions per day, and we run our site 24x7 with 99.99% reliability. We have more than 30 million lines of J2EE / Java based source code. We are leaders in cloud computing, SOA, search, and many other specialties. We love technology, open source, and interacting with the industry. Our employees are friendly, caring people who form great teams, and who understand how to be world class engineers and still have fun and work-life balance.
This position is a lead role in our kernel team, which provides eBay’s foundation software stack. Our latest challenge is to drive internal adoption of OSGi based modularity for eBay’s software, to provide world class dependency management and clean isolation of experiments from hardened code. We’ll drive changes in the eBay codebase to make it OSGi compatible, and to make it ready for Linux and our internal Cloud.
As a team, we have given Java One presentations, influenced the development of IBM’s Geronimo container, and contributed to Apache projects.

• Support the kernel technology stacks for the eBay engineering teams and any other customers
• Help advance eBay technical culture and the technical industry through presentations, blogging, conferences, and other social participation
