Created by JetBrains, Kotlin is a modern programming language that targets the Java, Android, JavaScript, and LLVM platforms. The language was released in 2016 and is rapidly gaining popularity. In 2019, Kotlin became Google's preferred language for Android development, and in 2022, it became their recommended language for server-side JVM development. Kotlin's dedicated Release team works on improving the release process across several Kotlin teams, focusing on the quality and on-time delivery of releases. Their work centers on: * The size and multi-component nature of the project. * The many cross-team dependencies. * Time-based releases with stabilization phases ~2 months * Automated pre-release checks. We are now looking for a Release Engineer to join the team and strengthen our efforts.
