JetBrains jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

JetBrains makes software development tools for developers and teams. Postings name IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, ReSharper, Rider, TeamCity, YouTrack, and Junie, its AI coding agent. Postings say that more than 15 million users and over 300,000 companies use its products. The company started in 2000 and has more than 2,800 people in 15 offices.

What they value

• Do not cut corners: care about each detail, from code to copy.
• Leaders who do the work: people who understand the work make the decisions.
• Comfort with change: small teams move fast, and priorities shift.
• Run with your ideas: if you see a problem or a better path, take the initiative.
• Own your results: freedom means that you take responsibility.
• Merit over everything: what you do matters, not where you come from.

Where they hire

Most Postings list many offices at once: Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Limassol, Munich, Amsterdam, Madrid, Belgrade, Paphos, Yerevan, and London. Five of 60 are for Shanghai or the United States. Work is hybrid, and 21 Postings also offer remote work in Germany. No Posting mentions visa sponsorship. Many offer relocation support.

Teams and roles

The board has 60 Postings. Each sits in its own small team, so the groups below are by kind of role.

• Software and machine learning (ML): developers for the JetBrains Platform team (JCP), Kotlin infrastructure, the web team, and the Junie agent, plus a Head of ML and a research engineer for LLM (large language model) pre-training.
• Quality assurance (QA): six roles for the IntelliJ Platform, the Kotlin plugin, Java build tools, and TeamCity.
• Product and design: product managers for JetBrains Context, version control, and the Kotlin plugin, and three product designers for YouTrack, Air, and FlySto.
• New projects: founding roles at GrowthBricks and Spectrum, and a product lead for Project Thinkrail.
• Customer success, support, and sales: four Customer Success Engineers, support engineers for ReSharper and TeamCity, and an enterprise account executive.
• Marketing and advocacy: a developer advocate for databases, a Head of Brand, growth and product marketing roles, and two part-time Campus Ambassador roles for students.
• Finance, legal, and people: 13 roles in accounting, tax, procurement, legal counsel, compliance, employee relations, and office administration.

What they look for

Most Postings ask for fluent English, written and spoken. Some roles tied to one office also ask for the local language, such as Czech in Prague, Serbian in Belgrade, and Mandarin in Shanghai.

Ownership repeats across teams. The QA role for the Core team asks you to own the QA domain end to end. The accounts payable role asks for independent work and sound decisions. The ML role for Junie asks for full ownership of decisions and implementation.

Hands-on work with AI repeats too, and not only for developers. The Customer Success Engineer role asks for hands-on knowledge of AI and LLMs in software development. The YouTrack designer role asks for an understanding of agentic workflows, which are AI systems that run tasks in many steps. The ReSharper support role asks for an understanding of generative AI in development work.

Technical roles name a stack. The identity team asks for 7 or more years of JVM development, preferably with Kotlin, plus Postgres and Kubernetes. QA roles ask for test automation and frameworks such as JUnit or TestNG. The ReSharper support role asks for C# and the .NET stack.

The careers page says that every role has a test assignment, not only developer roles. It also says that the company asks for three contacts from previous workplaces.
