Description

  • Lead the technical design of AI features for PyCharm and Python tooling, including MCP integrations, agent workflows, tool design, and context management.
  • Prototype and ship AI features hands-on as part of a technical leadership role.
  • Guide the team in adopting AI technologies by providing technical direction, reviewing approaches, and sharing practical patterns.
  • Evaluate emerging AI tools, frameworks, and providers to decide what to build versus what to integrate.
  • Collaborate with product managers, ML engineers, QA specialists, and senior developers to translate product ideas into technical plans.
  • Work within a large Kotlin/Java codebase and expose IntelliJ Platform capabilities to AI-powered workflows.
  • Contribute to cross-team AI initiatives and help define shared engineering patterns.
  • Support technical decision-making in fast-moving, ambiguous areas by proposing architectures and iterating based on feedback.

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering experience, particularly in Python and/or Kotlin/JVM.
  • Deep hands-on familiarity with modern AI developer tooling, including coding assistants, agents, MCP, and LLM-based workflows.
  • Experience working in large, mature codebases and delivering meaningful technical change without compromising quality.
  • Familiarity with LLM evaluation and benchmarking.
  • Track record of making good technical decisions in fast-moving, ambiguous areas, including proposing architectures, building prototypes, and iterating based on feedback.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction without formal authority.
  • Strong product sense and focus on solving real user problems, not just building interesting technology.
  • Experience with IDE or developer tooling internals, such as language servers, code analysis, or related systems (nice to have).
  • Experience with the Python AI/ML ecosystem (nice to have).

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary.
  • Flexible work location, including the option to work from home or from the office.
  • Up to 30 days per year of remote work from abroad.
  • Extra time off to relax and recharge.
  • Medical insurance allowance for you and your family.
  • Learning and development opportunities, including conferences, courses, and language classes.
  • Relocation support, if relevant for the role.
  • Hot meals or a lunch allowance on workdays.
  • Mental health support with access to professional services.
  • Sports benefit such as an on-site gym or sports club stipend.
  • Internal events and company-wide celebrations.
