## Job description

Do you care about how things work under the hood and don't shy away from complex, interconnected systems? Do you know how to independently investigate problems, build reliable test coverage, and guide others in maintaining a high bar for quality?

### About JetBrains

We create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. More than 15 million users, over 300,000 companies, and 88 of the Fortune Global 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.

### What you’ll do

The Core team handles the foundational pieces of the IntelliJ Platform, including the editor, indexing, settings, and plugins. These systems are highly complex and used across all JetBrains IDEs, meaning your work directly impacts the daily workflows of millions of developers. You’ll take full ownership of the QA domain for this team, ensuring the stability of both established components and temporary cross-team projects. You’ll work closely with developers to investigate technical problems, coordinate testing efforts, and ensure we ship reliable, high-quality features.

### Day to day, you will:

- Develop and maintain UI, end-to-end, functional, and integration tests across Linux, Windows, and macOS.

- Analyze test failures and track test coverage.

- Test new functionality, focusing on complex scenarios, edge cases, and potential coverage gaps.

- Improve test diagnostics, frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines to reduce flakiness and increase reliability.

- Mentor a junior QA engineer by helping plan tasks, reviewing work, and answering technical questions.

- Communicate risks, roadblocks, and investigation results clearly to the development team.

- Own your QA domain end to end, proactively identifying priorities, planning your work, and driving quality initiatives.

### What you’ll bring

- A strong sense of ownership over the quality and stability of complex systems.

- The ability to navigate incomplete requirements and find the information needed to move forward.

- A practical approach to problem-solving, with a focus on resolving issues independently.

- A collaborative mindset for working closely with developers and other cross-functional teams.

- An eye for spotting risks, missing scenarios, and areas for process improvement.

- A willingness to guide and support less-experienced engineers.

### What you’ll need

- An extensive background in software quality assurance and test automation.

- Strong programming skills to develop, maintain, and debug UI tests.

- Proficiency with testing frameworks like JUnit or TestNG.

- The proven ability to investigate and troubleshoot failures across products, infrastructure, and environments.

- Fluency in written and spoken English.

### What success looks like

You’ve established a reliable, stable testing infrastructure for the Core team, significantly reducing test flakiness and improving diagnostic capabilities. You proactively identify quality risks before releases, keep developers unblocked, and ensure the junior engineers you mentor are confidently taking on more complex tasks.

Why join JetBrains?

- Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience.

- Flexible work location. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office.

- Remote work. Spend up to 30 days per year working remotely from abroad.

- Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love.

- Medical insurance allowance. Enjoy peace of mind for you and your family

- Learning and development opportunities. Access to conferences, courses, and language classes.

- Relocation support. We help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.

- Language classes. Pick up the local language or sharpen your English skills.

- Fuel your day. Enjoy a hot meal or receive a lunch allowance on workdays.

- Mental health support. To help you feel your best, we provide easy access to professional mental health services.

- Sports benefit. Enjoy an on-site gym or sports club stipend.

- Internal events. Join company-wide celebrations and team gatherings.

*Some benefits may vary depending on location.

### We are an equal opportunity employer

We 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.

We process the data provided in your job application in accordance with the Recruitment Privacy Policy.

**Live in Jetbrains’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
