At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.

We're now looking for a Senior Graphics/JVM Software Engineer with in-depth knowledge of modern hardware-accelerated APIs to join the JetBrains Runtime (JBR) team. Based on the LTS versions of OpenJDK, JBR is the low-level part of the IntelliJ Platform, the foundation for many JetBrains development tools, including IntelliJ IDEA. 

We work on improving IntelliJ-based IDEs by developing new features (such as the Java Chromium Embedded Framework), participating in OpenJDK projects (like Lanai and Wakefield), and fixing JBR issues, most of which are targeted for upstreaming to OpenJDK.

In this role, you will:

• Help ensure our IDEs look slick and run fast by providing low-level support for UI frameworks like Swing and Compose for desktop.

We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you have:

• 4+ years of C or C++ programming experience.
• Solid knowledge of Java and JVM internals
• A deep understanding of OOP.
• Multithreaded programming experience.
• Familiarity with system or UI application development on Unix, Windows, or macOS (using Cocoa, GNOME, Win32 API, etc.).
• In-depth knowledge of modern hardware-accelerated APIs, such as Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL, or D3D.
• The ability to optimize and refactor code, both yours and that of others.
• A responsible, independent, and disciplined approach to your work.
• Good teamwork skills.

We’d be especially thrilled if you:

• Know other programming languages, like Objective-C or Kotlin.
• Are familiar with Cocoa, X11, and Wayland technologies.
• Have deep knowledge of  JVM architecture.

Why join JetBrains? 

• Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience.
• Flexible work location. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office.
• Remote work. Spend up to 30 days per year working remotely from abroad.
• Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love.
• Medical insurance allowance. Enjoy peace of mind for you and your family
• Learning and development opportunities. Access to conferences, courses, and language classes.
• Relocation support. We help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. 
• Language classes. Pick up the local language or sharpen your English skills.
• Fuel your day. Enjoy a hot meal or receive a lunch allowance on workdays.
• Mental health support. To help you feel your best, we provide easy access to professional mental health services.
• Sports benefit. Enjoy an on-site gym or sports club stipend.
• Internal events. Join company-wide celebrations and team gatherings.
