Huawei Finland Research Center is looking for a Senior/Staff/Principal Web Platform Engineer to join our team.

Responsibility:

As a senior hands-on engineer, you will help integrating Chromium Web engine to OpenHarmony OS (OHOS), Huawei's own, open source operating system. You will be working on integrating Chromium with select OpenHarmony OS features, with Huawei's own WebView, and with Huawei's Web Browser application. Your deep understanding of Chromium internal architecture, and how Chromium supports other operating systems help you make the right architectural decisions to archive best-in-class performance: better performance / power consumption of the Huawei Browser and of reference hybrid apps (apps that use Huawei WebView) compared to leading operating systems.

Your main tasks include:

• Analyze the end-to-end performance bottleneck of WebView and Huawei Browser based on Chromium for OpenHarmony OS.
• Streamline Chromium rendering pipeline for mobile phone, tablet and desktops in typical use cases.
• Recommend architectural changes to overcome identified bottlenecks, and implement some of these by yourself.
• Vertically integrate and use OHOS and Huawei in-house HW/chip capabilities and develop differentiated web features.
• Collaborate with open source community and partners effectively, contribute code to the Chromium community.
• Bring breakthrough/innovation in Web Engine Pipeline for e.g. via parallelisation, use of multi-core architecture.

Requirement:

• Proficient (8+ years) in C/C++ and System programming, Rust expertise is also welcome.
• Extensive development (5+ years ) or optimization experience with one of the state-of-art web engines, preferably with Chromium, Webkit and Firefox/Servo is also considered.
• Deeply understand the web engine internal architecture, and integration to other operating systems, whole process of rendering pipelines of web engines, such as Chromium and Blink rendering, compositor & graphics. Ability to profile/trace effectively to identify performance bottleneck and optimization.
• Understanding the modern graphics API (GLES/Vulkan/Metal/D3DX) and engine, such as SKIA/Cairo, and GPU-related APIs, such as WebXR/WebGL/WebGPU, is a plus. AI/ML related API’s like WebNN, Tensorflow.js exposure is considered an advantage.
• Good knowledge of JS engine, such as V8, WASM and exposure to Compiler optimizations JIT, PGO etc. is a plus.
• Chromium Committer/Owner will be preferred.
• Experience/competency with Android or other embedded OS. Typically like optimizing Chromium embedding in OS for example with CEF or Android Webview is a plus.
• Good communication skills, effective work in team and remote interaction.
• Understanding cultural differences helps teams work harmoniously across cultural domains.
