Обязанности

  • 01Own the product vision for the Kotlin plugin: fast, correct, and trustworthy IDE support that evolves with the language
  • 02Use IntelliJ IDEA with the Kotlin plugin daily — dogfooding features, catching regressions, and validating the developer experience first-hand
  • 03Maintain and develop reference Kotlin projects that serve as showcases for new features, material for conference demos, and a living test bed for DX quality
  • 04Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept using AI coding agents to explore and validate new capabilities
  • 05Own and continuously adapt the plugin roadmap across short-term release goals, mid-term initiatives, and longer-term Kotlin ecosystem related projects
  • 06Align plugin planning with Kotlin compiler releases, IntelliJ IDEA release trains, and Android Studio constraints
  • 07Make explicit trade-offs and say "no" when cost, risk, or maintenance burden outweighs user value
  • 08Define problem statements, success criteria, and scope for features — then collaborate with engineers to validate and refine
  • 09Represent core Kotlin personas — JVM backend developers, library authors, Android and Multiplatform teams — and prioritize recurring pain points: false positives, slow analysis, unreliable refactorings, onboarding pain points, AI agents integrations
  • 10Run a consistent pipeline of monthly user interviews to ground decisions in real workflows
  • 11Coordinate with Kotlin language team, Developer Advocates, framework partners, Marketing, and other JetBrains teams
  • 12Create external visibility through what's-new posts, Kotlin User Groups meetup talks, and feature previews at events like KotlinConf, Spring I/O, Devoxx and others

  • 05Can define clear roadmaps with problem statements, success criteria, and explicit trade-offs
  • 06Has strong communication skills in English — written and spoken — for both technical peers and executive audiences
  • 07Is ready to represent the product externally at conferences, in blog posts, and in community interactions
  • 08Takes developer experience personally — not as an abstract metric, but as something they feel in their own daily workflow
