At JetBrains, we build developer tools that help engineers stay focused on solving hard problems instead of fighting routine work.

Within JetBrains AI, we are collaborating with Zed on the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open protocol that lets AI coding agents work inside editors and IDEs. ACP is already supported in JetBrains AI Assistant, and the project is jointly governed by JetBrains and Zed. We see ACP as a long-term investment in interoperability, developer choice, and durable AI-powered workflows across the JetBrains ecosystem. (The JetBrains Blog).

ACP evolves in the open. Real-time coordination happens in Zulip, actionable work is tracked in GitHub Issues, longer-form discussion happens in GitHub Discussions, and substantial protocol changes move through the RFD process. We need someone who can help JetBrains shape that work from the product side: define the right developer scenarios, align internal and external stakeholders, and turn ecosystem needs into clear priorities for JetBrains and for the protocol. (Agent Client Protocol).

This is not a generalist product management role. It is also not a pure protocol engineering role. It sits between developer-experience product work and protocol evolution.

This role is often a strong fit for someone who has spent several years as a software engineer – ideally on APIs, SDKs, web/backend systems, libraries, frameworks, or platform integrations – and then moved into product management or a hybrid product or engineering role.

This will be an exciting opportunity if you:

• Want to shape an open interoperability layer for AI-native software development.
• Enjoy turning messy cross-team technical discussions into clear product direction.
• Like working with engineers, agent developers, and external partners to make complex systems usable and durable.

In this role, you will:

• Identify and prioritize the developer scenarios JetBrains should support through ACP in JetBrains IDEs.
• Study how those scenarios are already handled in CLIs and agents, and define coherent IDE-native flows that JetBrains should support.
• Work on examples such as plan mode, sub-agent workflows, or agent-to-agent communication, and turn them into clear scenario definitions and product requirements.
• Talk to JetBrains product and engineering teams, external agent developers, and partners to collect requirements, constraints, and compatibility concerns.
• Turn those inputs into crisp problem statements, GitHub Issues, success criteria, and roadmap priorities.
• Partner closely with protocol engineers and ACP maintainers to translate validated scenarios into protocol proposals, implementation requirements, and delivery plans.
• Represent JetBrains in regular protocol conversations with Zed and the broader ACP community, helping drive alignment on what belongs in the protocol, what should remain implementation-specific, and what should wait.
• Balance immediate JetBrains product needs against long-term protocol design concerns such as extensibility, backward compatibility, clarity, and ecosystem fit.
• Define and monitor the right telemetry and product metrics for ACP-related surfaces, including agent installation success, authentication success, protocol feature adoption, task completion, reliability, and developer satisfaction.
• Help JetBrains make long-term, product-quality decisions about supporting ACP across multiple IDE experiences.
• Communicate decisions, trade-offs, and priorities clearly to highly technical stakeholders inside and outside JetBrains.

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

• Have 1-4 years of product management experience, or equivalent end-to-end ownership in a hybrid engineering/product role.
• Have a substantial software engineering background and hands-on production coding experience in real systems.
• Understand how modern web and integration primitives work in practice, including OAuth, WebSockets, HTTP, JSON-RPC, and service-to-service communication.
• Are comfortable reasoning about APIs, protocols, payload schemas, event-driven systems, authentication flows, local/remote execution, and backward compatibility.
• Can discuss technical details credibly with engineers and agent developers, even when the conversation goes deep into protocol behavior, edge cases, or extensibility.
• Can take raw technical feedback and turn it into clear user scenarios, requirements, issue tickets, and written decisions.
• Have strong product judgment and can distinguish between a JetBrains-specific UX choice and a protocol-level capability that should be standardized.
• Have a data-driven mindset and know how to combine telemetry, qualitative feedback, and ecosystem signals in product decisions.
• Have strong spoken and written English.

We’d be especially thrilled if you:

• Previously worked as a senior software engineer, staff engineer, library/framework maintainer, SDK owner, or platform/integration engineer before moving closer to product work.
• Have experience with developer tools, IDEs, AI coding agents, CLI workflows, or interoperability layers such as LSP, MCP, or ACP.
• Have contributed to open-source projects or standards-like processes.
• Are comfortable working in public GitHub workflows with Issues, Discussions, pull requests, and proposal documents.
• Have built or supported products where compatibility, extensibility, and future-proofing mattered.
• Use JetBrains IDEs regularly.

At JetBrains, we’re building an AI-native platform for software development that connects developer workflows, team-level collaboration, and organizational control into a single coherent system. This platform will serve as the execution and governance layer for AI-driven development, deeply integrated with developer tools but designed to work across teams, products, and environments. This is a long-term strategic investment for JetBrains and a key pillar of our vision for the future of software development.

The role

We are looking for a Software Architect (Product Architecture) to drive architecture within a specific product area.

This role focuses on owning end-to-end architecture for a product domain: making sure product requirements translate into a coherent technical design, that the domain evolves sustainably, and that the product aligns with platform capabilities and constraints. You’ll be the architectural “center of gravity” for a domain, partnering closely with engineers and product stakeholders while collaborating with platform architects on shared foundations and integration contracts.

As this is a new platform, many standards and processes are still works in progress – you will help define them from the perspective of real product needs and delivery constraints.

As part of the team, you will:

• Own the architecture of a specific product domain within JetBrains Cloud Platform and evolve it over time.
• Translate product and domain requirements into clear architectural designs and implementation approaches.
• Define service boundaries, domain models, data flows, and integration contracts, in line with platform standards.
• Drive key architectural decisions and trade-offs in your area (e.g., API design, persistence, reliability, performance, and migration paths).
• Ensure your domain architecture supports scalability, reliability, and observability from the outset.
• Review and validate architectural designs within your domain and team, raising quality and consistency.
• Collaborate with platform architects and other domain owners to align on cross-cutting decisions and shared interfaces.
• Work closely with senior and staff engineers to clarify requirements, reduce ambiguity, and support execution.
  
  

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong experience in software engineering and system design, with a track record of working on complex systems.
• Has experience owning architecture within a product or domain, including balancing delivery needs with long-term sustainability.
• Is comfortable aligning product needs with platform capabilities and constraints (and negotiating trade-offs when needed).
• Can facilitate architectural decision-making inside a team and across partner teams.
• Is comfortable working in an environment where many processes and standards are still being formed.
• Is motivated by long-term goals, designing for evolution rather than one-off implementations.
  
  

We’d be particularly thrilled if you:

• Have experience designing product architectures that operate in cloud environments and integrate with multiple systems.
• Are strong at reasoning about architectural trade-offs in context (time-to-market vs correctness, flexibility vs complexity, etc.).
• Enjoy helping teams converge on good solutions through collaboration, not enforcement.

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.

*Some benefits may vary depending on location.
