Job Description
AI Lead, Python Tools
JetBrains
• Lead the technical design of AI features in PyCharm and our Python tooling, including MCP integrations, agent workflows, tool design, and context management. • Prototype and ship features yourself – this is a hands-on technical leadership role. • Help the team adopt AI technologies effectively by providing technical guidance, reviewing approaches, and sharing practical patterns. • Evaluate emerging AI tools, frameworks, and providers, and make pragmatic decisions about what to build and what to integrate. • Work closely with product managers, ML engineers, QA specialists, and senior developers to turn product ideas into solid technical plans. • Navigate a large Kotlin/Java codebase and expose IntelliJ Platform capabilities – such as code analysis, inspections, refactorings, and type inference – to AI-powered workflows. • Contribute to cross-team AI efforts and help define shared engineering patterns where appropriate.
Job Requirements
- Strong software engineering experience, particularly in Python and/or Kotlin/JVM.
- Deep, hands-on familiarity with modern AI tooling for developers, 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.
- A track record of making good technical decisions in fast-moving, ambiguous areas like proposing architectures, building prototypes, and iterating based on feedback.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction without formal authority.
- A strong product sense and care about 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).
