Senior Product Manager (VCS Ecosystem)
You know version control is more than just a subsystem. It’s the backbone of how teams build software. You’re ready to shape the future of code-change workflows, from local commits to AI-assisted reviews. If you’re excited by the challenge of turning a core IDE feature into a standalone ecosystem, this is for you.
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.
Version control is a critical part of our IDEs, but we want to take it further. We’re turning VCS into a strategic product direction and, eventually, we aim to grow it into a dedicated ecosystem. This role exists to define what that future looks like right now.
As the Senior Product Manager, you’ll figure out where JetBrains should play in the VCS space, how to evolve our Git and code review experiences, and what new opportunities exist beyond our current tools. You’ll have the ownership to set a clear product vision that covers everything from complex local merges to remote, containerized, and AI-assisted workflows. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering and quality leads, as well as product marketing, developer advocacy, and the IntelliJ Platform teams. Together, you'll figure out how to handle the next era of software delivery, including tracking provenance and reviewing AI-generated changes across different environments.
Day to day, you will:
Success means moving VCS from a platform subsystem to a clear, strategic ecosystem. You’ll have built a compelling product vision that engineering teams are aligned on and customers are excited about. You won’t just be copying what exists. You’ll be finding entirely new ways to solve code-change workflows, especially as AI becomes a bigger part of development. Ultimately, you’ll earn your team's trust by making sound decisions, keeping projects moving, and leaving the product better than you found it.

Defined Career Pathways
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.
