Java/Kotlin Software Developer (JetBrains IDEs)

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started back in 2000, we have been striving to make the most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.

PhpStorm, one of the flagship IntelliJ-based IDEs, serves nearly a million PHP developers daily, providing them with robust tools to write, debug, and optimize their code. With the rising popularity of AI and remote development, users’ needs are constantly evolving – and PhpStorm is ready to evolve with them.

We are now in search of an experienced Java/Kotlin Developer to join our team. Together with us, you will get to work on enhancing the daily life of PHP developers worldwide.

We would be happy to have you join our team if you:

• Have a strong technical background and at least 3 years of Java/Kotlin development experience.
• Understand the intricacies of multi-threaded programming.
• Are familiar with algorithms and data structures and can apply them in your daily work.
• Have a good command of spoken and technical written English.

Our team values a sense of ownership and collaboration. We work in a flat hierarchy, where team members contribute to decision-making and implementation. If you’re excited about brainstorming ideas (sometimes involving users) and iterating on them to improve user experience, this position is for you.

How we work

We strive to balance rigor – essential for maintaining the stability of such a complex product – and freedom, allowing us to develop innovative, useful tools.

• No micromanagement: Team members are fully responsible for their part of the system, requiring a high degree of organization and responsibility.
• Tech stack: PhpStorm’s source code is written in Java and Kotlin. Knowledge of PHP is not needed.

Your responsibilities

You’ll be working on exciting and challenging projects, such as:

• Integrating AI to transform development workflows.
• Enhancing support for remote development scenarios to make them first-class citizens in the IDE.
• Keeping PhpStorm up-to-date with changes in the PHP language and ecosystem.
• Improving performance, especially for processing large user files, requiring a deep understanding of multi-threaded application development.
