Software Developer; IntelliJ Platform

Jet Brains offers multiple IDEs that are used by millions of customers. These IDEs are built on top of the Intelli

J Platform – our homegrown framework for building desktop applications suitable for coding.

J Platform Team is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the fundamental blocks of all Jet Brains' IDEs. The team's problems include risk evaluation and the implementation of new approaches, API design, performance improvements, and close collaboration with product teams and external clients.

We are currently looking for a Software Developer to join the team responsible for the Threading Model of the Intelli

J Platform. The design of the Threading Model influences all aspects of the Intelli

J Platform – including the shape of APIs and the possibility of internal performance improvements. The choices made in the Threading Model also affect the responsiveness of all IDEs and the extensibility of the Intelli

J Platform.
