AI Technical Lead - C++ Ecosystem
JetbrainsAI is fundamentally changing how developers write, understand, debug, and maintain software.
At JetBrains, we're exploring what an AI-native development experience should look like for C++ developers. We are looking for a senior technical leader to help shape this future by building AI-powered workflows, integrating coding agents into developer tools, and defining how CLion can become a first-class environment for AI-assisted software development.
This is a highly hands-on role focused on technical leadership rather than people management. You should expect to spend most of your time prototyping, implementing, and validating AI-powered workflows while helping shape technical direction through hands-on engineering. You'll work at the intersection of developer tools, AI agents, IDE architecture, and product strategy while helping define how software developers work with AI in the future.
Example problems you'll work on:
- How can coding agents become more effective when working with large C++ codebases?
- How can CLion's debugging, code understanding, and navigation capabilities be integrated into AI-assisted development workflows?
- How should AI-powered developer experiences be evaluated and benchmarked in real-world development scenarios?
- What capabilities should AI agents have access to inside a modern IDE?
- How can we make CLion a better environment for developers who increasingly collaborate with AI tools and agents?
In this role, you will:
- Shape and deliver AI-powered features for CLion and C++ development workflows.
- Design the architecture for AI integrations, agent tools, and C++-specific AI capabilities.
- Build practical benchmarks and evaluation frameworks for AI-assisted C++ development scenarios.
- Prototype and validate new AI workflows, including debugging, code understanding, refactoring, and project navigation.
- Collaborate with product managers, ML engineers, QA engineers, stakeholders, and senior developers to shape and deliver the roadmap.
- Work closely with JetBrains AI, ML, and product teams to help define the AI str
