Job Summary
In this role, you develop AI-powered workflows for C++ developers, prototype new debugging and refactoring methods, and design the architecture for AI integrations in CLion.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- AI is fundamentally changing how developers write, understand, debug, and maintain software.
- At JetBrains, we're exploring what an AI-native development experience should look like for C++ developers.
- We are looking for a senior technical leader to help shape this future by building AI-powered workflows, integrating coding agents into developer tools, and defining how CLion can become a first-class environment for AI-assisted software development.
- This is a highly hands-on role focused on technical leadership rather than people management.
- You should expect to spend most of your time prototyping, implementing, and validating AI-powered workflows while helping shape technical direction through hands-on engineering.
- You'll work at the intersection of developer tools, AI agents, IDE architecture, and product strategy while helping define how software developers work with AI in the future.
- Shape and deliver AI-powered features for CLion and C++ development workflows.
- Design the architecture for AI integrations, agent tools, and C++-specific AI capabilities.
- Build practical benchmarks and evaluation frameworks for AI-assisted C++ development scenarios.
- Prototype and validate new AI workflows, including debugging, code understanding, refactoring, and project navigation.
- Collaborate with product managers, ML engineers, QA engineers, stakeholders, and senior developers to shape and deliver the roadmap.
- Work closely with JetBrains AI, ML, and product teams to help define the AI strategy for the C++ ecosystem.
- Evaluate and prioritize AI initiatives, bringing new ideas and proposals that align with the broader JetBrains AI strategy.
- Contribute hands-on to technical design, software architecture, and implementation in a large, mature codebase.
- Help define a technical roadmap for AI agent and tool integrations in C++ development workflows.
- Build trust and alignment across the C++ ecosystem, AI, product, QA, and ML organizations.
