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.
AI is no longer just an assistant inside the editor – it is becoming an active participant in how software is planned, built, reviewed, and operated across teams and organizations. This shift introduces new challenges that cannot be solved at the level of individual tools alone: governance, security, cost control, observability, and coordinated work between humans and autonomous agents.
Our goal is to build a platform that enables companies to adopt AI in software development in a structured, scalable, and economically efficient manner – without locking them into closed ecosystems.
We are building the foundation 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 Principal Engineer (JetBrains Cloud Platform, Developer Experience) to drive large-scale improvements to the development experience across the JCP.
This role focuses on making JCP engineers faster and more productive by improving build systems, CI/CD pipelines, local development workflows, tooling infrastructure, and AI pipelines. You will own the developer experience end to end – from how engineers develop, build, and test locally to how code moves through CI and reaches production. As this is a rapidly growing platform, many workflows and processes are still maturing. You will define what a great development experience looks like and drive the organization toward it.
As part of the team, you will:
- Own and drive the strategy for developer experience improvements across the entire JCP platform.
- Optimize build systems (Gradle, Nx, and others) for faster builds, better caching, and reliable reproducibility at scale.
- Set up AI development pipelines, managing context, agents, and handoffs, and leveraging tools developed within the JCP.
- Improve CI/CD pipelines – reduce build times, increase reliability, optimize resource usage, and shorten feedback loops across TeamCity and GitHub.
- Improve containerized development workflows (Docker, Dev Containers) to ensure fast and consistent local environments.
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the development cycle – from code commit to production deployment.
- Establish best practices, tooling standards, and shared infrastructure that enable all teams to move faster.
- Collaborate with platform and product teams to understand pain points and deliver high-impact improvements.
We are looking for someone who:
- Has extensive experience with build systems (Gradle, Maven, or Bazel) and a track record of optimizing them at scale.
- Has strong expertise in CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Jenkins, or similar) and knows how to ensure high performance and reliability.
- Has hands-on experience with Docker and containerized development workflows.
- Understands the full software development life cycle and can reason about developer productivity holistically.
- Is able to drive cross-team initiatives and influence engineering practices across a large organization.
- Is motivated by making other engineers more productive and removing friction from their daily work.
We'd be particularly thrilled if you:
- Have experience improving the developer experience at scale in a platform or infrastructure organization.
- Have worked on AI-driven development pipelines.
- Have expertise in build caching, remote execution, and incremental build strategies.
- Have contributed to or maintained open-source build tooling or CI/CD infrastructure.
- Enjoy digging into performance problems and turning slow, flaky processes into fast, reliable ones.

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.
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.

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 just unveiled JetBrains Central, a platform for agent-driven software development that connects tools, agents, and infrastructure. It enables automated AI workflows to run, be monitored, and be managed across teams – with clear visibility into results, costs, and performance.
JetBrains Central provides three core capabilities:
Governance and control: Policy enforcement, identity and access management, observability, auditability, and cost attribution for agent-driven work. Some of these functionalities are already available via the JetBrains Central Console.
Agent execution infrastructure: Cloud agent runtimes and computation provisioning that allow agents to run reliably across development environments.
Agent optimization and context: Shared semantic context across repositories and projects, enabling agents to access relevant knowledge, and task routing to the most appropriate models or tools.
Inside the Professional Services department, we are building a team of Forward Deployed Engineers to help our customers adopt AI-native development with JetBrains Central and enable JetBrains consulting partners to transform their customers’ AI-native software development lifecycle.
As a Principal Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with early adopter customers to deploy JetBrains Central platform into complex enterprise environments and help them move from experimental AI usage to governed, scalable AI-native development.
You will act as a trusted advisor to customer engineering teams and consulting partners, while also mentoring other Forward Deployed Engineers and helping with complex deployments. In this role, you will help establish best practices for enterprise AI adoption and influence how organizations implement AI-driven software development.
This role is often a strong fit for engineers who have previously served as Principal or Staff Engineers, Heads of Engineering, CTOs, or Solutions Architects and who enjoy working directly with customers while staying deeply involved with complex technical systems.
This role combines consulting, architecture, and hands-on engineering. Your work in the field will directly influence how our platform evolves and how enterprises adopt AI-driven development.
You will work directly with the world’s most innovative companies — our client base includes 420 of the Fortune 500 — ensuring they maximize the value of their JetBrains investments.
