Jobbeschreibung

Software Developer (Platform/ Remote Development)

The IntelliJ Platform team drives the advancement of remote development, where the server-side of JetBrains IDEs runs easily on dedicated environments in clouds or virtual machines.

We see a future where externally managed environments aren’t just perks for big corporations – they’re the norm for every developer. From Dev Containers to fully managed environments across all major cloud providers, this shift in the industry is fast approaching.

These external environments could be anything: Docker containers, bare-metal servers, your personal laptop, or managed dev environments like Coder, Google Workspaces, and Gitpod. That’s why we’re focused on an ambitious and impactful project: building a new version of the IntelliJ Platform to seamlessly support any external setup.

Our remote development tech has several key layers of responsibilities:

• Core remote development technology: This is the backbone that splits the IDE into a client-server model, enabling seamless frontend and backend separation. It includes components that link the client to external file systems and uses a specialized communication protocol for actions, file sharing, and state syncing. Much of our team is currently dedicated to adapting this new framework across IDE subsystems.
• Developer and user interfaces: This covers integration into tools like JetBrains Gateway and the Toolbox App, making remote development feel effortless. Our goal is to make switching environments or connecting to remote machines as simple as opening a local project.
• Enterprise services and external integrations: Many of our clients are Fortune 500 companies whose infrastructures need tailored services and integrations with external solutions or JetBrains tools. We focus on real-world scenarios shaped by feedback from engineers at leading tech companies.

We are now looking for a skilled Software Developer to join our team and help drive this technology forward.

In this role, you will:

• Build tools to split IDE components into client-server modules.
• Provide technical solutions and architectural input for various IDE platform components, including indexing, editors, connection, SSH, Docker, the language support framework, and many others.
• Lead integration projects with internal teams to implement the new version of the platform.

We’d love to have you on our team if you:

• Have experience refactoring or evolving large, long-lived software systems (platforms, frameworks, SDKs, or developer tools)
• Are well familiar with theJVM ecosystem including building and maintaining complex, non-trivial applications (not just typical web backends)
• Have strong experience with Java and/or Kotlin, including concurrency, coroutines, multi-threaded systems, and platform-level design patterns

By checking this box, I agree to allow JetBrains to retain my data for future opportunities for employment for up to 2190 days after the conclusion of consideration of my current application for employment.
