Software Developer (Kotlin)

JetBrains creates professional tools that make developers more productive and help them focus on what matters. Our websites and web services are a core part of the JetBrains ecosystem. They connect us with users worldwide, power product distribution, support learning, and enable feedback loops at scale.

We are currently looking for a Software Developer to join our Web Development team. The ideal candidate will be someone who can take ownership of services end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to deployment and long-term support.

In this role, you will:

• Design and develop internal company-wide web applications and services.

• Participate in the creation of solution architecture, from selecting approaches to decomposing services and defining their interactions.

• Build and maintain services running in AWS and Kubernetes-based environments.

• Develop tools and platforms for localization workflows and integrate them with third-party systems.

• Improve the reliability, scalability, and observability of our systems.

• Collaborate with other teams to evolve shared infrastructure and internal platforms.

We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you have:

• Strong 3- 5 years experience in backend web development using Kotlin or Java.

• Experience with Node.js.

• A solid understanding of modern backend frameworks (e.g. Ktor and Spring).

• Experience designing and building production-grade systems.

• An understanding of distributed-system fundamentals (e.g. networking, fault tolerance, and scalability).

• Experience working with cloud environments (AWS or similar).

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration.

• The ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.

• A willingness to take ownership of systems in production (including by offering support and assisting with continuous improvement).

• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

We would be especially thrilled if you have:

• Experience with infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform).

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.

• Experience with observability tools (e.g. metrics, logging, and tracing).

• Practical experience using AI tools or agents in development workflows.
