## Job description

Are you a QA Engineer who cares about code craft and system stability? Do you want to focus on quality over quick fixes and own your decisions from day one?

## About JetBrains

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.

## What you’ll do

IntelliJ IDEA changed how Java development worked by introducing automated refactoring, and it remains a core tool for thousands of developers worldwide. Within the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate team, we focus specifically on improving how the IDE supports key JVM frameworks like Spring, Jakarta EE, and Hibernate.

We need an independent QA Engineer to help us ensure these enterprise development tools remain reliable and efficient. You will take ownership of the testing process for new and existing functionality, balancing manual exploratory testing with automated test development. You will work closely with developers to spot flaws early and collaborate directly with product managers to decide which issues impact our users most.

Day to day, you will:

- Perform exploratory testing of new and existing features to uncover edge cases.
- Run regression tests to ensure platform stability before releases.
- Maintain, write, and scale our automated test suites.
- Reproduce user-reported issues and provide technical support to resolve them.
- Collaborate with developers to share product knowledge and diagnose system bugs.
- Work with product managers to estimate the priority and business impact of issues.

## What you’ll bring

- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical problems clearly.
- Independence, self-discipline, and a habit of learning new technologies on your own.
- A collaborative approach to working with distributed engineering teams.

## What you’ll need

- Proven experience testing commercial software applications.
- Proficiency in Java or Kotlin sufficient to write test applications and read source code.
- Fluency in spoken and written English.
- Practical familiarity with build tools (like Maven, Gradle, or Bazel), databases, and Docker containers.
- Experience testing software across different operating systems alongside basic system administration skills.

What success looks like

Success in this role means earning the trust of your team through sound testing decisions and leaving our codebase cleaner and more stable than you found it. You will move past simple task lists to take real ownership of product quality, helping the team ship reliable updates without compromising speed. Ultimately, success is defined by preventing regressions and ensuring enterprise developers have a seamless experience using our tools.

Why join JetBrains?

- Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience.
- Flexible work location. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office.
- Remote work. Spend up to 30 days per year working remotely from abroad.
- Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love.
- Medical insurance allowance. Enjoy peace of mind for you and your family
- Learning and development opportunities. Access to conferences, courses, and language classes.
- Relocation support. We help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
- Language classes. Pick up the local language or sharpen your English skills.
- Fuel your day. Enjoy a hot meal or receive a lunch allowance on workdays.
- Mental health support. To help you feel your best, we provide easy access to professional mental health services.
- Sports benefit. Enjoy an on-site gym or sports club stipend.
- Internal events. Join company-wide celebrations and team gatherings.

*Some benefits may vary depending on location.
