AI Technical Lead - C++ Ecosystem

<p data-start="213" data-end="305">AI is fundamentally changing how developers write, understand, debug, and maintain software.</p> <p data-start="307" data-end="665">At JetBrains, we're exploring what an AI-native development experience should look like for C++ developers. We are looking for a senior technical leader to help shape this future by building AI-powered workflows, integrating coding agents into developer tools, and defining how CLion can become a first-class environment for AI-assisted software development.</p> <p data-start="667" data-end="1126">This is a highly hands-on role focused on technical leadership rather than people management. You should expect to spend most of your time prototyping, implementing, and validating AI-powered workflows while helping shape technical direction through hands-on engineering. You'll work at the intersection of developer tools, AI agents, IDE architecture, and product strategy while helping define how software developers work with AI in the future.</p> <h3><strong>Example problems you'll work on:</strong></h3> <ul data-start="1257" data-end="1772"> <li data-section-id="1kr8jn4" data-start="1257" data-end="1341">How can coding agents become more effective when working with large C++ codebases?</li> <li data-section-id="1grdqsk" data-start="1342" data-end="1472">How can CLion's debugging, code understanding, and navigation capabilities be integrated into AI-assisted development workflows?</li> <li data-section-id="1a96z5j" data-start="1473" data-end="1584">How should AI-powered developer experiences be evaluated and benchmarked in real-world development scenarios?</li> <li data-section-id="x2tg27" data-start="1585&quot
