At JetBrains, we are passionate about boosting developer productivity. Since our inception, we've been creating tools that eliminate repetitive tasks, simplify workflows, and empower developers to focus on what they do best: creating amazing things with code. JetBrains IDEs enable millions of developers worldwide to achieve their full potential.

As JetBrains continues to grow, so does the amount and complexity of cross-team work. At the same time, AI is increasing both the pace of change and the coordination load across the company. To keep growing while continuing to build great products, we want to strengthen our execution.

We’re now looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to help us run complex cross-team technical programs, raise execution quality and improve planning, delivery predictability, and escalation discipline for complex work.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the most complex cross-team technical programs in your primary domain.
• Make sure complex work across the domain is planned, coordinated, and executed to a consistently high standard.
• Surface risks, blockers, and capacity issues early, and drive mitigation or escalation when local coordination is not enough.
• Serve as the senior PMO-side escalation point when complex delivery work in the domain gets stuck.
• Keep program status accurate by verifying execution rather than only collecting updates.
• Work with product, engineering, quality, and service teams to define goals, scope, milestones, dependencies, and key decisions.
• Build workable program plans and coordination cadences, and clarify resourcing needs with the teams involved.
• Coach TPMs and other part-time program leads across the domain and, where the setup includes full-time TPMs, manage them directly.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, quality, and service teams without taking over their decision-making authority.
• Typical programs may include sunsetting a feature or product, rolling out a major feature, driving a large technical refactoring effort, or coordinating the response to a major customer or partner escalation that becomes complex cross-team work.
• You’ll work primarily within one domain, such as one of our IDEs, a major functional area in an IntelliJ-based product, or another area with heavy cross-department dependencies, while also contributing to cross-domain priorities as part of the PMO team when needed.

We will be happy to have you on our team if you have:

• A proven track record of leading complex software programs or other cross-team initiatives from start to finish.
• The ability to influence without direct authority, challenge assumptions constructively, and work effectively across product, engineering, quality, and other functions.
• Strong negotiation, facilitation, and escalation judgment.
• The ability to manage multiple parallel initiatives effectively, prioritize well, and keep execution plans tied to reality.
• Experience coaching other program or project managers and improving execution quality beyond your own work.
• Enough technical depth to sanity-check feasibility claims, dependency chains, and delivery risk in a technical environment.
• A technical background or experience working closely with software development teams.
• At least 5 years of program or project management experience in the tech industry.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
• A strong understanding of how complex software programs are structured, planned, and driven through delivery; formal PM training or certification is a plus.
• Experience with IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, JetBrains tools, or other developer-focused products would be a plus.

If selected, we’ll give you the opportunity to:

• Work on tools that help developers become better versions of themselves.
• Be part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and impact.
• Enjoy a flexible, supportive work environment designed to help you succeed.
• Embrace the opportunity to shape the future of developer productivity.

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.
