Most explore a repository like a new hire on day one - grepping, opening files, guessing. JetBrains Context replaces that with actual knowledge of your whole codebase and resources, served to any agent that asks. If you want to own the layer that decides what an agent knows before it writes a single line, this is for you.\nAbout JetBrains\nWe create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. More than 15 million users, over 300,000 companies, and 88 of the Fortune Global Top 100 rely on our products to solve real, complex problems. Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale.\nWhat you’ll do\nAs agents get better at searching for themselves, what is the durable value of a managed retrieval layer? We need someone with an opinionated answer to own JetBrains Context as a product - defining what it is for, who it is for, how we measure success, and where it goes next.\nThis is a hands-on role where you'll manage the product from a terminal and agent session rather than slides. You'll bridge the technical core and cross-functional teams: collaborating closely with engineering and ML teams on indexing pipelines and retrieval quality, working with Air, IDE, and Junie teams on integrations, and partnering with marketing, developer advocacy, sales, and customer success on positioning and adoption. You'll take full ownership of defining problem statements, setting explicit trade-offs, and balancing cost, latency, and freshness across the platform.\nDay to day, you will:\nBuild and maintain a deep working understanding of chunking, embeddings, index freshness, retrieval, reranking, and agent-facing surfaces.\nDefine and defend an opinionated vision for the product's evolution, including explicit target audiences, use cases, and key success metrics.\nTranslate product strategy into actionable problem statements, priorities, plans, and milestones with an explicit definition of “done”.\nCommunicate product direction clearly to engineering, leadership, cross-functional stakeholders, customers, and prospects.\nAnalyze competing context and code-search products through direct use to establish clear differentiators and identify gaps.\nDefine core operational and product metrics - index freshness, retrieval quality, agent task outcomes, adoption, retention, and unit economics - to guide decision-making.\nRepresent the product externally by sharing roadmaps, publishing updates, speaking to developer audiences, and gathering community feedback.\nPartner with ML teams on model evaluation and platform teams on service scale, reliability, and cost.\nWhat you’ll bring\nA well-argued point of view on where AI-first development is going and what agents genuinely need from a context layer.\nComfort with technical depth across embeddings, retrieval quality, sub-agents, tool-calling, indexing costs, and API design.\nThe habit of using the product you build daily alongside competitors' tools.\nCommunication that adapts to different audiences, from staff engineers and enterprise architects to conference attendees.\nA data-informed approach that combines telemetry, evaluation results, customer conversations, and market signals.\nComfort with ambiguity and a preference for defining a new category over copying an existing one.\nWhat you’ll need\nProven experience owning a complex developer, platform, or infrastructure product end to end, including strategy and roadmap.\nHands-on familiarity with modern AI coding tools and agent workflows.\nThe technical capability to work directly with engineering on retrieval behavior, APIs, data models, and integration surfaces.\nThe ability to define metrics for quality-sensitive products and build evaluation habits that maintain product standards.\nExperience communicating a product externally through written content, talks, or community engagement.\nPractical experience with search, retrieval, RAG, developer search, or static analysis at scale is a plus.\nWhat success looks like\nWithin your first months, you'll form and share a clear thesis for what JetBrains Context is and is not - one the engineering team recognizes as theirs and leadership can invest in. You'll establish a metrics story that distinguishes real retrieval quality from vanity usage, a roadmap with clear trade-offs, and a documented evaluation of serious competitors.\nLonger term, success means JetBrains Context becomes a deliberate choice for developers and organizations, agents get measurably better answers because it exists, enterprises adopt it for its governance and scale, and the market clearly understands its unique value because you've communicated it effectively.\n\nWhy join JetBrains? \nStrong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience.\nFlexible work location. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office.\nRemote work.
