About the Company

ABOUT JETBRAINS AIR JetBrains has been building developer tools since 2000 - including IntelliJ IDEA, Kotlin, TeamCity, and more, now trusted by 15M+ developers at 287K companies worldwide. The company is 100% private, profitable, and driven by a single thesis: great tools make developers better. Air is what JetBrains is building next: an agentic development environment where multiple AI agents run tasks in parallel while the developer stays in control. It's a genuinely new kind of developer tool - spanning a native desktop app, an expanding web experience, and cloud-based automations. It's the next frontier after IDEs: not just helping developers write code, but helping them orchestrate it. The Air design team is two people now - and you'd be the third. Your primary focus will be the web surface and the automations sub-team: an emerging part of the product that is ready for dedicated design ownership, with a real opportunity to raise the bar and shape the experience from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON - Design the web interface for Air: team management, automation setup, and a results overview - Shape the design process for the automations sub-team, working directly with developers to establish review and handoff practices - You decide what gets built. You turn a vague product direction into scope, a plan and a shipped surface, and you say no to the rest. - Own how the design system evolves across web and desktop: what belongs in it, what stays local, h

Requirements

  • ● + years of product design experience, with great examples of delivering results that impact the business.
  • ● Ownership instinct. You see features through from design to production. Delivery is part of your definition of done.
  • ● Excellent cross-team project delivery. You can work with limited context, clarify what matters, define the scope, and move projects forward across teams without needing constant hand-holding.
  • ● Active AI user. You use AI tools in your design workflow. You've experimented with building or prototyping with Cursor, Claude, or similar. This market moves weekly; you should too.
  • ● Solid Figma skills. Proficient with components, tokens/variables, and design systems - you can navigate an existing UI kit, understand how it works, and contribute new components as the product grows.
  • ● Nice to have:
  • ● Familiarity with agentic or AI-native interface patterns - trust signals, human-in-the-loop, error handling at scale
  • ● WHAT YOU GET
  • ● Rare product scope. Work on a product that could define the next generation of developer tooling - small team, direct impact, decisions that ship fast.
  • ● JetBrains' culture. Engineering-first, quality-focused, 100% private. No VC pressure, no artificial growth targets.
  • ● Competitive compensation and benefits - location-dependent, with a full breakdown available on request.
