Job Description
Senior Technical Product Manager – IntelliJ, Kotlin Plugin
JetBrains
• Own the product vision for the Kotlin plugin: fast, correct, and trustworthy IDE support that evolves with the language. • Use IntelliJ IDEA with the Kotlin plugin daily — dogfooding features, catching regressions, and validating the developer experience first-hand. • Maintain and develop reference Kotlin projects that serve as showcases for new features, material for conference demos, and a living test bed for DX quality. • Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept using AI coding agents to explore and validate new capabilities. • Own and continuously adapt the plugin roadmap across short-term release goals, mid-term initiatives, and longer-term Kotlin ecosystem related projects. • Align plugin planning with Kotlin compiler releases, IntelliJ IDEA release trains, and Android Studio constraints. • Make explicit trade-offs and say "no" when cost, risk, or maintenance burden outweighs user value. • Define problem statements, success criteria, and scope for features — then collaborate with engineers to validate and refine. • Represent core Kotlin personas — JVM backend developers, library authors, Android and Multiplatform teams — and prioritize recurring pain points: false positives, slow analysis, unreliable refactorings, onboarding pain points, AI agents integrations. • Run a consistent pipeline of monthly user interviews to ground decisions in real workflows. • Coordinate with Kotlin language team, Developer Advocates, framework partners, Marketing, and other JetBrains teams. • Create external visibility through what's-new posts, Kotlin User Groups meetup talks, and feature previews at events like KotlinConf, Spring I/O, Devoxx and others.

- Can define clear roadmaps with problem statements, success criteria, and explicit trade-offs.
- Has strong communication skills in English — written and spoken — for both technical peers and executive audiences.
- Is ready to represent the product externally at conferences, in blog posts, and in community interactions.
- Takes developer experience personally — not as an abstract metric, but as something they feel in their own daily workflow.
