About JetBrainsAt JetBrains, innovation drives everything we do. Since we started in 2000, we have beendedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with technology. The Innovation Hub atJetBrains is dedicated to exploring groundbreaking products that open new markets andtransform pioneering ideas into impactful solutions. About the roleWe are Project Ignite, an internal startup with a mission: to reimagine who can be a developer.We are not building another chatbot. We are building an agentic solution that empowers evennon-technical creators to build real, cross-platform mobile applications (iOS, Android, and web)using natural language specifications and interactive workflows.We are now looking for a co-founder to join our technical lead and drive the product’s strategy,turning this novel technology into a viable business.This is not a traditional product management role. You will be figuring out the product’s reasonfor existence, its precise audience, and its path to adoption. This is a rare opportunity whereyou’ll be able to enjoy the autonomy of a startup founder while also benefiting from theresources, distribution, and stability JetBrains provides. In this role, you will: ● Define the product’s strategy: You will be responsible for the product vision. We have thetech and some product hypotheses, but you will pick the winning bet. You’ll make surewe stand out against the background noise in the AI generation space and provide cleardirection to the team.● Drive continuous discovery: You won't rely on assumptions. You’ll constantly talk topotential users.● Own the roadmap and MVP: Collaborating closely with the technical co-founder to maketough prioritization decisions and define a focused MVP, you'll balance the excitingpossibilities of agentic AI against the reality of shipping a usable product.● Launch and scale: You will be the product’s primary salesperson. From setting up thelanding page to running early demos and securing our first alpha testers, you willprepare everything necessary for a successful launch. ● Build relationships: You will represent Ignite, maintain relationships with other productteams, and engage with external partners, all while ensuring the team's focus remainsintact. We will be happy to have you on our team if you have: ● Ability to ship: Proven experience building a digital product from zero to one, ideally withtwo or more years of experience as a founder, co-founder, or first product leader in anearly-stage company or significant new vertical. We’d be especially interested if thisexperience was in generative AI, AI agents, or developer tools.● Analytical skills: You can cut through noise and have exceptional analytical andstructured problem-solving skills. You communicate clearly, think logically, and don't hidebehind jargon.● Empathy for the “maker”: You understand the psychology of a creator who has an ideabut lacks the technical skills to execute it.● AI literacy and realism: You understand the current state of LLMs. You know what agentscan do today and where they fail. You can strategize around these limitations.● High agency and a hands-on approach: You don't need a manager to tell you what to donext. You see a gap, and you fill it. You prioritize momentum over process. We’d be especially thrilled if you have:● Experience using low-code/no-code or developer tools.● Understanding of mobile development lifecycles (iOS/Android).● Experience in generative AI startups, especially with code generation or building pluginsfor canvas-based products like Figma or Miro. Why Join Project Ignite?● Real impact: You are defining a new category of tools that change who can be adeveloper.● Cutting-edge tech: Work with a team pushing the boundaries of agentic AI, KotlinMultiplatform, and Compose Multiplatform.● Autonomy: You own the strategy. We hire smart people and get out of their way.● Culture: Work in an environment that values deep work, innovation, and directcommunication over politics. #LI-DNI We process the data provided in your job application in accordance with the Recruitment Privacy Policy.
