Job Description

We’re expanding the IntelliJ Ultimate team — the group responsible for delivering world-class development experiences for enterprise Java and Kotlin projects. Our work powers the seamless integration of frameworks and libraries like Spring, Quarkus, and Hibernate, and enables millions of developers to build, debug, run, and deploy complex enterprise applications with confidence and productivity.

We’re now looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take ownership of core functional areas within IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. The successful candidate will join a team of highly skilled engineers dedicated to evolving the IDE’s capabilities for professional Java and Kotlin development.

In this role, you will:

• Take end-to-end ownership of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate features and subsystems related to enterprise frameworks, build tools, runtime configurations, and application servers.

• Design and implement advanced tooling for Java, Kotlin, Spring, and related ecosystems.

• Collaborate closely with other senior engineers and tech leads to ensure architectural consistency and technical excellence in all areas of IntelliJ IDEA.

• Drive innovation and usability improvements in large-scale, production-grade developer tools.

• Contribute to maintaining IntelliJ IDEA’s reputation for quality, reliability, performance, and developer delight.

We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you have:

• Strong expertise in Java and Kotlin, with a deep understanding of the JVM.

• Solid experience with the Spring ecosystem and/or other popular enterprise frameworks and libraries, including their configuration, deployment, and runtime models.

• A proven track record of working on complex systems, large-scale codebases, or developer tooling.

• The ability to design, maintain, and evolve clean, extensible, and well-architected software.

• A genuine interest in IDE internals, language tooling, and improving the developer experience.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — you’ll work with top engineers and multiple IntelliJ IDEA subsystems.

If you join us, you’ll get to:

• Shape the future of enterprise development tooling in one of the world’s most advanced IDEs.

• Work on technologies that directly impact millions of professional developers.

• Collaborate with some of the best engineers in the developer tools industry.

• Enjoy broad technical ownership and opportunities for architectural influence.

• Receive top-tier compensation and benefit from a flexible work environment.
