Head of Data Science and Analytics (JetBrains Air)
You’ve built data teams from the ground up and know how to turn raw information into better product decisions. You care deeply about how AI is changing software development, and you want to shape the data foundations that make it happen.
We create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. More than 15 million users, over 300,000 organizations, and 88 of the Fortune Global Top 100 companies rely on our products to solve real, complex problems. Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale.
JetBrains Air is an AI-native software development platform that connects developer workflows, collaboration, and control into a single system. Because this is a major strategic focus for us, we need a strong data function to help guide it. As Head of Data Science and Analytics for JetBrains Air, you’ll lead our data science, analytics, and data engineering capabilities for both the product and go-to-market domains.
By building a high-performing team, you’ll help us use data to navigate product direction, optimize product and go-to-market decisions, and accelerate growth. You’ll own the data strategy for JetBrains AI, partnering closely with product, engineering, and leadership teams to ensure our data infrastructure scales smoothly alongside our ambitions.
Day to day, you will:
You will have transformed JetBrains Air into a truly data-informed, experimentation-driven product offering. By establishing strong data foundations, you’ll empower teams to deeply understand our customers, accurately measure product impact, and confidently make strategic decisions. Rather than just reporting on what has already happened, your work will actively shape what we build next.

JetBrains runs a Flexible Hybrid model, so most roles are tied to one of its 15 offices across Europe (including Amsterdam, Prague, Munich, Berlin, Belgrade, Warsaw, Madrid, London, and Cyprus), the Americas (Foster City, Marlton, and Waltham), and Shanghai. Even roles posted as remote are usually locked to a specific country, so check the location listed on a job before applying.
No. JetBrains hires across engineering, design, UX research, marketing, sales, and operations, and its careers page is explicit that you do not have to write code to be a match. Every hire, technical or not, is asked to complete a test assignment, which is how the team sees the actual skills a role needs in action.
Alongside hybrid flexibility and up to 30 days a year working abroad, JetBrains provides in-office meals, snacks, and drinks, a gym subsidy, a learning and development budget for conferences, books, and courses, and a top-spec equipment setup. Health, dental, vision, mental-health support, pension, and parental leave are included, though the exact coverage depends on the country you are based in.
It runs in stages: an application with a CV and short cover letter, an application review, a recruiter call, and a team interview. You are then given a test assignment, for any role and not just engineering, which can usually be done from home. Potential teammates review it, followed by a final interview and a reference check with three contacts before a decision is made.
JetBrains looks for people who raise the standard around them, care about why the work matters, and are comfortable owning decisions without close supervision. Having stayed private and profitable for more than two decades, the company builds without short-term external pressure, so it suits people who want the space to take their time and get things right rather than chase quarterly targets.
