ppAt JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create. /p pWe just unveiled JetBrains Central, a platform for agent-driven software development that connects tools, agents, and infrastructure. It enables automated AI workflows to run, be monitored, and be managed across teams – with clear visibility into results, costs, and performance. /p h3JetBrains Central Provides Three Core Capabilities /h3 ul libGovernance and control: /b Policy enforcement, identity and access management, observability, auditability, and cost attribution for agent-driven work. Some of these functionalities are already available via the JetBrains Central Console. /li libAgent execution infrastructure: /b Cloud agent runtimes and computation provisioning that allow agents to run reliably across development environments. /li libAgent optimization and context: /b Shared semantic context across repositories and projects, enabling agents to access relevant knowledge, and task routing to the most appropriate models or tools. /li /ul pInside the Professional Services department, we are building a team of Forward Deployed Engineers to help our customers adopt AI-native development with JetBrains Central and enable JetBrains consulting partners to transform their customers’ AI-native software development lifecycle. /p h3About The Role /h3 pAs a Principal Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with early adopter customers to deploy JetBrains Central platform into complex enterprise environments and help them move from experimental AI usage to governed, scalable AI-native development. /p pYou will act as a trusted advisor to customer engineering teams and consulting partners, while also mentoring other Forward Deployed Engineers and helping with complex deployments. In this role, you will help establish best practices for enterprise AI adoption and influence how organizations implement AI-driven software development.



/p pThis role is often a strong fit for engineers who have previously served as Principal or Staff Engineers, Heads of Engineering, CTOs, or Solutions Architects and who enjoy working directly with customers while staying deeply involved with complex technical systems. /p pThis role combines consulting, architecture, and hands‑on engineering. Your work in the field will directly influence how our platform evolves and how enterprises adopt AI-driven development. /p pYou will work directly with the world’s most innovative companies – our client base includes 420 of the Fortune 500 – ensuring they maximize the value of their JetBrains investments. /p h3What You’ll Do /h3 ul liDeploy JetBrains Central platform into enterprise development environments, CI/CD systems, and internal developer platforms. /li liHelp organizations transition from ad-hoc AI experimentation to governed AI-native development workflows. /li liImplement enterprise AI governance, including security policies, access management, and data privacy controls. /li liEnable observability for AI-driven development to help organizations understand their AI usage and its impact on productivity in addition to code‑generation patterns. /li liDesign sustainable AI adoption strategies, including usage controls and cost visibility across multiple model providers. /li liIntegrate our cloud‑based agent execution layer, allowing AI agents to run securely and at scale. /li liCollaborate closely with JetBrains product teams to shape the platform based on real‑world deployments and customer feedback. /li liCreate delivery frameworks and train JetBrains partners to deliver the desired scope of service. /li liMentor and support other Forward Deployed Engineers, sharing architectural expertise and helping to scale the team’s deployment practices.



/li /ul h3You will thrive in this role if you are /h3 ul liA consultant at heart who can communicate effectively with both engineers and technical leadership. /li liAble to see the whole picture of the software development lifecycle across developer tools, infrastructure, APIs, and cloud systems. /li liExperienced at integrating complex software systems into enterprise environments. /li liCurious about the future of AI agents and AI-native software development. /li liComfortable working with early adopters and overcoming ambiguous technical challenges. /li liMotivated to mentor other engineers and contribute to building a new technical discipline. /li /ul h3What You Will Bring /h3 ul liExperience in software‑related projects, ideally in a customer‑facing or consulting environment. /li liFamiliarity with Java or Python. /li liExperience building or integrating developer platforms, infrastructure systems, or software solutions. /li liFamiliarity with modern development workflows (CI/CD, developer environments, internal developer platforms, etc.). /li liExperience working directly with customers or technical stakeholders. /li liStrong problem‑solving skills and the ability to operate in fast‑evolving technical environments. /li liAbility and desire to travel to meet customers. /li /ul h3These would be a plus, but are not blockers /h3 ul liExperience with industry‑specific solutions (fintech, telco, retail, etc.) /li liExperience with AI/LLM platforms, agent frameworks, or AI‑assisted development tools. Experience in solutions engineering, consulting, or forward‑deployed engineering roles. /li liFamiliarity with the JetBrains ecosystem or developer productivity tooling. /li /ul h3We are an equal opportunity employer /h3 pWe know great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. That’s why we do our best to create an open and inclusive workplace – one that welcomes everyone regardless of their background, identity, religion, age, accessibility needs, or orientation. /p pWe process the data provided in your job application in accordance with the Recruitment Privacy Policy. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
