Development Team Lead (AI Integrations/ .NET)

The .NET department is one of the largest at JetBrains. We’re responsible for the whole suite of products dedicated to C# and game development, including well-recognized tools in the industry, such as ReSharper, Rider, dotMemory, dotCover, and dotTrace. As AI drives a new era in software development, we’re working hard to ensure that our products not only have proper integrations with AI capabilities but are also on the frontier of the AI-powered software development tooling industry.

We are now seeking an experienced C# Development Team Lead to own the delivery process of our products being enriched with AI capabilities and to deliver our new AI-powered offerings for software development.

Responsibilities: 

• Lead forward an engineering team with diverse levels of experience and expertise that focuses on integrating AI into our existing products and working on new AI-powered offerings.

• Collaborate effectively with product managers, ML and QA engineers, stakeholders, and senior developers to iterate on the product roadmap delivery.

• Contribute to the product roadmap and participate in the feature design process.

• Constantly refine team processes and culture to ensure smooth delivery and staying agile.

• Be a playing coach rather than a manager who’s detached from hands-on work. In practice, this means spending some time personally designing and working on technical tasks and software architecture.

• Rapidly assimilate extensive technical information and dive deep into very mature codebases.

• Coach your team members on their technical and soft skills and provide them with feedback to help them get a little better every day.

Requirements:

• Significant experience: substantial previous experience with C# as well as experience leading a development team.

• Bleeding-edge knowledge and generally huge interest in the current landscape of AI technologies being used in tooling for software development - you read the latest news, constantly trying new tools, know how agents work under the hood.

• Diverse experience: a proven record of joining mature teams and having a major impact (either as an individual contributor or as a team lead).

• Problem-solving skills: a proven track record of proposing and implementing radical solutions that move the needle on complex technical issues without sacrificing existing quality.

• Communication skills: This role requires the ability to communicate effectively with a diverse set of colleagues, including both managers and peers.

• A clear understanding of product management and its role in the development lifecycle as a whole.
