About the Company

Coding agents are only as good as the context they're given. 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. We 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. Some benefits may vary depending on location. We are an equal opportunity employer We know great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. That's why we do our best to create an open and inclusive workplace - one that welcomes everyone regardless of their background, identity, religion, age, accessibility needs, or orientation. We process the data provided in your job application in accordance with the Recruitment Privacy Policy.

Responsibilities

  • ● Build and maintain a deep working understanding of chunking, embeddings, index freshness, retrieval, reranking, and agent-facing surfaces.
  • ● Define and defend an opinionated vision for the product's evolution, including explicit target audiences, use cases, and key success metrics.
  • ● Translate product strategy into actionable problem statements, priorities, plans, and milestones with an explicit definition of "done".
  • ● Communicate product direction clearly to engineering, leadership, cross-functional stakeholders, customers, and prospects.
  • ● Analyze competing context and code-search products through direct use to establish clear differentiators and identify gaps.
  • ● Define core operational and product metrics - index freshness, retrieval quality, agent task outcomes, adoption, retention, and unit economics - to guide decision-making.
  • ● Represent the product externally by sharing roadmaps, publishing updates, speaking to developer audiences, and gathering community feedback.
  • ● Partner with ML teams on model evaluation and platform teams on service scale, reliability, and cost.

Requirements

  • ● A well-argued point of view on where AI-first development is going and what agents genuinely need from a context layer.
  • ● Comfort with technical depth across embeddings, retrieval quality, sub-agents, tool-calling, indexing costs, and API design.
  • ● The habit of using the product you build daily alongside competitors' tools.
  • ● Communication that adapts to different audiences, from staff engineers and enterprise architects to conference attendees.
  • ● A data-informed approach that combines telemetry, evaluation results, customer conversations, and market signals.
  • ● Comfort with ambiguity and a preference for defining a new category over copying an existing one.
  • ● Proven experience owning a complex developer, platform, or infrastructure product end to end, including strategy and roadmap.
  • ● Hands-on familiarity with modern AI coding tools and agent workflows.
  • ● The technical capability to work directly with engineering on retrieval behavior, APIs, data models, and integration surfaces.
  • ● The ability to define metrics for quality-sensitive products and build evaluation habits that maintain product standards.
  • ● Experience communicating a product externally through written content, talks, or community engagement.
  • ● Practical experience with search, retrieval, RAG, developer search, or static analysis at scale is a plus.
