Team Lead Kotlin Infrastructure

Are you an engineering leader who views developer infrastructure not as a collection of scripts, but as a core product that enables engineering craft at scale? Do you want to help shape long-term platform strategy and remove friction for hundreds of developers? Then you may be the person we're looking for to lead the Kotlin Infrastructure team at JetBrains.

About JetBrains

We create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams.

Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale.

What you’ll do

The Kotlin Infrastructure team enables development across the Kotlin repository by building and evolving the engineering infrastructure behind Kotlin development. The team is responsible for developer experience, build infrastructure, CI/CD, release infrastructure, internal tooling, and engineering processes that help Kotlin teams create, test, and deliver software efficiently.

We're looking for a Team Lead who will help the team scale its impact across the Kotlin organization and the broader JetBrains engineering ecosystem. You'll shape infrastructure strategy, be in charge of technical leadership, drive initiatives execution across multiple teams, and help Kotlin infrastructure evolve as an engineering platform.
