Senior Product Manager (IntelliJ Platform)

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.

The IntelliJ Platform is the foundation of JetBrains IDEs for building various development tools. It’s highly extensible, supporting many programming languages and frameworks. The platform allows developers to leverage the powerful features of JetBrains IDEs while tailoring them to their specific needs or integrating them with other tools and services. It's crucial to the development of all our existing and new IDE products.

This is a unique product that requires a bespoke approach from the Product Management team, and we are currently looking for an experienced and skilled Product Manager to support these efforts. This is an exciting opportunity to have a personal impact on the software development tools we create.

• Develop and maintain a product roadmap that addresses short- and long-term goals.
• Build from scratch and incrementally improve the product development process.
• Work closely with developers, analysts, technical writers, developer advocates, and marketing and product managers.
• Cooperate with the authors of third-party libraries, frameworks, and tools.

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