Why it's interesting

The company that sold you IntelliJ now wants an FDE to push 'JetBrains Central' into enterprises — $204K–$306K, fully remote, explicitly targeting ex-Staff/Principal engineers, Heads of Eng, and CTOs. When a 20-year IDE vendor stands up forward deployment for AI governance, the land grab has gone mainstream.

The role

Deploy JetBrains Central into complex enterprise environments and move early adopters from ad-hoc AI experimentation to governed, AI-native development. Act as trusted advisor to customer engineering teams, mentor other FDEs, help establish AI governance (security policies, access management, data privacy), enable observability of AI usage and code-generation patterns, and integrate the cloud-based agent execution layer to run agents securely at scale.
