Development Team Lead (AI Integrations/ .NET)

Development Team Lead (AI Integrations/ .NET)

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

The .NET department is one of the largest at JetBrains. We’re responsible for the whole suite of products dedicated to C# and game development, including well‑recognized tools in the industry, such as ReSharper, Rider, dotMemory, dotCover, and dotTrace. As AI drives a new era in software development, we’re working hard to ensure that our products not only have proper integrations with AI capabilities but are also on the frontier of the AI‑powered software development tooling industry.

We are now seeking an experienced C# Development Team Lead to own the delivery process of our products being enriched with AI capabilities and to deliver our new AI‑powered offerings for software development.

In This Role

• Lead forward an engineering team with diverse levels of experience and expertise that focuses on integrating AI into our existing products and working on new AI‑powered offerings.
• Collaborate effectively with product managers, ML and QA engineers, stakeholders, and senior developers to iterate on the product roadmap delivery.
• Contribute to the product roadmap and participate in the feature design process.
• Constantly refine team processes and culture to ensure smooth delivery and staying agile.
• Be a playing coach rather than a manager who’s detached from hands‑on work. In practice, this means spending some time personally designing and working on technical tasks and software architecture.
• Rapidly assimilate extensive technical information and dive deep into very mature codebases.
• Coach your team members on their technical and soft skills and provide them with feedback to help them get a little better every day.

Qualifications

• Significant experience: substantial previous experience with C# as well as experience leading a development team.
• Bleeding‑edge knowledge and generally huge interest in the current landscape of AI technologies being used in tooling for software development – you read the latest news, constantly trying new tools, know how agents work under the hood.
• Diverse experience: a proven record of joining mature teams and having a major impact (either as an individual contributor or as a team lead).
• Problem‑solving skills: a proven track record of proposing and implementing radical solutions that move the needle on complex technical issues without sacrificing existing quality.
• Communication skills: This role requires the ability to communicate effectively with a diverse set of colleagues, including both managers and peers.
• A clear understanding of product management and its role in the development lifecycle as a whole.
