JetBrains is a software company that builds professional developer tools and integrated development environments (IDEs) — including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, and others — plus team and CI/CD tools like TeamCity, YouTrack, Datalore, and code-quality services. The company also offers AI-powered developer features (Junie, AI Assistant, AI Enterprise), a marketplace for plugins, educational offerings (JetBrains Academy, courses, free licenses for students/teachers), and enterprise services for managing developer tooling at scale. JetBrains focuses on improving developer productivity, collaboration, and code quality for individual developers and organizations worldwide.

📋 Description

• Lead the technical design of AI features in PyCharm and our Python tooling, including MCP integrations, agent workflows, tool design, and context management. • Prototype and ship features yourself – this is a hands-on technical leadership role. • Help the team adopt AI technologies effectively by providing technical guidance, reviewing approaches, and sharing practical patterns. • Evaluate emerging AI tools, frameworks, and providers, and make pragmatic decisions about what to build and what to integrate. • Work closely with product managers, ML engineers, QA specialists, and senior developers to turn product ideas into solid technical plans. • Navigate a large Kotlin/Java codebase and expose IntelliJ Platform capabilities – such as code analysis, inspections, refactorings, and type inference – to AI-powered workflows. • Contribute to cross-team AI efforts and help define shared engineering patterns where appropriate.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong software engineering experience, particularly in Python and/or Kotlin/JVM. • Deep, hands-on familiarity with modern AI tooling for developers, including coding assistants, agents, MCP, and LLM-based workflows. • Experience working in large, mature codebases and delivering meaningful technical change without compromising quality. • Familiarity with LLM evaluation and benchmarking. • A track record of making good technical decisions in fast-moving, ambiguous areas like proposing architectures, building prototypes, and iterating based on feedback. • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction without formal authority. • A strong product sense and care about solving real user problems, not just building interesting technology. • Experience with IDE or developer tooling internals, such as language servers, code analysis, or related systems (Nice to have). • Experience with the Python AI/ML ecosystem (Nice to have).
