About the job

At JetBrains, we strive to provide innovative tools designed to enhance the software development experience, making it both enjoyable and productive. With Amper, our next-generation build tool for the JVM and Kotlin ecosystem, we aim to simplify the build process, allowing developers to focus more on creation and less on configuration.

The first experimental version of Amper was released in late 2023, and since then, we have been consistently improving it based on user feedback, showcasing its capabilities at KotlinConf 2024.

We are seeking a passionate Amper Project Lead to take complete engineering ownership of Amper. In this role, you will connect various components—from the IDE to the build configuration language—shaping the future of JVM application development. This position involves tackling algorithmic challenges, architectural design, and integration with different operating systems and toolchains. Whether you are an expert in specific areas or possess a broad technical knowledge, your skills will be invaluable here!

You will collaborate closely with teams in Engineering, Developer Advocacy, and Marketing to define the product’s value proposition, outline features, implement solutions, attract initial users, and drive scalability.
