ppDo you love dissecting code to understand how it really works, and want to build tools that help millions of other developers trust theirs? /ph3About JetBrains /h3pWe create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. More than 15 million users, over 300,000 companies, and 88 of the Fortune General Top 100 rely on our products to solve real, complex problems. Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale. /ph3What You’ll Do /h3pWe build Qodana to bring the intelligence of JetBrains IDEs directly into the CI/CD pipeline, helping engineering teams spot security flaws, license issues, and bugs before they ever reach production. As AI-assisted coding grows, the need for deep, static code analysis is more critical than ever. /ppIn this role, you’ll join our Qodana Core team to expand our static analysis engine and design new algorithms for complex, inter-procedural code analysis. You will have direct ownership over how we configure and orchestrate these analyses across different environments. You’ll collaborate closely with other JetBrains compiler and IDE teams, directly influencing how development teams worldwide maintain code quality and adopt AI safely. /ph3Day To Day, You Will /h3ulliDesign and implement new static analysis checks, rules, and inter-procedural analysis algorithms. /liliExtend Qodana’s capabilities in critical areas like license compliance, security, and vulnerability detection. /liliOptimize how code analysis runs, configure execution paths, and orchestrate performance based on project context. /liliBuild and refine CI/CD integrations to make Qodana easy to adopt across different development workflows. /liliCollaborate with compiler and IDE teams across JetBrains to share insights and align analysis engines.



/liliTake ownership of features from early concept to release, gathering feedback and iterating to make them better. /li /ulh3What You’ll Bring /h3ulliA deep curiosity about code structure, compilers, and how static analysis works. /liliA proactive mindset, not waiting for permission to fix a broken process or improve a system. /liliStrong collaboration skills and a readiness to support your technical ideas with clear, logical reasoning. /liliComfort working in a distributed team across different countries and time zones. /liliA focus on quality over quick fixes, valuing long-term maintainability in your work. /liliExperience with developer tooling, static analysis, application security, or LLM-based applications would be a plus. Familiarity with languages and ecosystems beyond the JVM – such as C++, Rust, JavaScript or TypeScript, Python, .NET, or Go – would also be valuable. /li /ulh3What You’ll Need /h3ulliDeep, practical knowledge of JVM development (such as Kotlin or Java). /liliExperience designing and implementing complex algorithms or handling performance-critical backend architectures. /liliFluent communication skills in English to collaborate with team members globally. /li /ulh3What Success Looks Like /h3ulliFirst 3 months: You will get familiar with the Qodana codebase and the IntelliJ Platform architecture, delivering your first set of analysis rules and integrations. /liliFirst 6 months:



You will take full ownership of specific analysis features, collaborating with neighboring teams to design robust solutions for complex codebases. /liliLong term: You will help shape the technical direction of Qodana Core, continuously raising the bar for static analysis performance and developer experience. /li /ulh3Why join JetBrains? /h3ulliStrong base salary – We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience. /liliFlexible work schedule – Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office. /liliExtra time off – More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love. /liliLearning and development opportunities – Access to conferences, courses, and language classes. /liliRelocation support – Assistance to help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. /liliFree meals and snacks – Lunch and refreshments provided to keep you fueled. /liliHealth and wellness – On-site gyms or sports club stipends. /liliInternal events – Company-wide celebrations and team gatherings. /li /ulpWe are an equal opportunity employer.
