Job description

About The Role

Join a small, senior engineering team in Amsterdam shaping the next generation of DevEco, the IDE for HarmonyOS developers.

You’ll have significant technical ownership: exploring new AI-native developer experiences, building working prototypes, evaluating emerging agent architectures, and helping turn the strongest ideas into product direction together with DevEco HQ in China.

What You’ll Do

• Build working prototypes and technical demos for AI-native IDE and developer-tooling features.
• Explore how modern coding agents handle context, tool use, planning, and verification, and adapt these approaches to HarmonyOS development.
• Evaluate emerging IDE, LLM, and agent architectures hands-on and turn findings into practical recommendations.
• Develop concepts for AI-assisted and agentic developer workflows that improve productivity and developer experience.
• Collaborate with universities, open-source communities, researchers, and industry partners.
• Work closely with the Amsterdam Team Lead and DevEco HQ to influence technical direction and future product capabilities.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience building IDE, developer-tooling, or engineering-productivity features.
• Good understanding of IDE technologies such as IntelliJ Platform, PSI, LSP, or similar architectures.
• Practical experience with LLMs, coding agents, context engineering, agent orchestration, or evaluation.
• Ability to take an early-stage idea and turn it independently into a working prototype.
• Strong engineering judgment and problem-solving skills.
• Strong English and confidence collaborating with international teams.
• Based in Amsterdam or willing to relocate.

Nice to Have

• Experience with compiler toolchains, build systems, runtimes, or developer test infrastructure.
• Contributions to developer-tools, AI coding, research, or open-source communities.
• Experience working with developer ecosystems that have limited tooling, documentation, or training data.
• Strong technical communication and the ability to clearly explain and advocate for technical ideas.
