Senior QA Engineer (New product)

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have been striving to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.

Well-known for IntelliJ IDEA and ReSharper, JetBrains is working on a new ambitious project – a complete on-premises orchestration solution for remote development with JetBrains IDEs.

With this product, developers will be able to build a remote development pipeline that lets them:

• Provide strong security over access to the source code
• Simplify the onboarding experience of new team members
• Warm up a dev environment to get it ready for use in a matter of seconds.
• Choose the VM type that best fits the project’s size and complexity.
• Save resources by automatically hibernating dev environments when not in use.
