Senior Technical Program Manager (IDE Department)

At JetBrains, we are passionate about boosting developer productivity. Since our inception, we've been creating tools that eliminate repetitive tasks, simplify workflows, and empower developers to focus on what they do best: creating amazing things with code. JetBrains IDEs enable millions of developers worldwide to achieve their full potential.

As JetBrains continues to grow, so does the amount and complexity of cross-team work. At the same time, AI is increasing both the pace of change and the coordination load across the company. To keep growing while continuing to build great products, we want to strengthen our execution.

We’re now looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to help us run complex cross-team technical programs, raise execution quality and improve planning, delivery predictability, and escalation discipline for complex work.

In this role, you will:

•Lead the most complex cross-team technical programs in your primary domain.

•Make sure complex work across the domain is planned, coordinated, and executed to a consistently high standard.

•Surface risks, blockers, and capacity issues early, and drive mitigation or escalation when local coordination is not enough.

•Serve as the senior PMO-side escalation point when complex delivery work in the domain gets stuck.

•Keep program status accurate by verifying execution rather than only collecting updates.

•Work with product, engineering, quality, and service teams to define goals, scope, milestones, dependencies, and key decisions.

•Build workable program plans and coordination cadences, and clarify resourcing needs with the teams involved.

•Coach TPMs and other part-time program leads across the domain and, where the setup includes full-time TPMs, manage them directly.

•Partner closely with product, engineering, quality, and service teams without taking over their decision-making authority.

•Typical programs may include sunsetting a feature or product, rolling out a major feature, driving a large technical refactoring effort, or coordinating the response to a major customer or partner escalation that becomes complex cross-team work.

•You’ll work primarily within one domain, such as one of our IDEs, a major functional area in an IntelliJ-based product, or another area with heavy cross-department dependencies, while also contributing to cross-domain priorities as part of the PMO team when needed.

We will be happy to have you on our team if you have:

•A proven track record of leading complex software programs or other cross-team initiatives from start to finish.

•The ability to influence without direct authority, challenge assumptions constructively, and work effectively across product, engineering, quality, and other functions.

•Strong negotiation, facilitation, and escalation judgment.

•The ability to manage multiple parallel initiatives effectively, prioritize well, and keep execution plans tied to reality. …
