The role

Do you care deeply about visual hierarchy, interaction details, and how a webpage feels to use? Do you believe design isn't decoration, it's how products communicate, guide, and solve complex problems? If you enjoy refining pixels, building coherent web systems, and eliminating friction for smart users, this is for you.

Success means delivering web experiences that feel effortless, consistent, and visually refined. You'll know you're succeeding when complex user flows become clear, design components scale seamlessly across products, and both internal teams and end-users trust the quality of your work.

What you'll do

Our web presence is often the first interaction developers and teams have with JetBrains. As software evolves, our web products and tools need to clearly communicate complex concepts while staying intuitive, accessible, and fast.

You'll take ownership of major web design initiatives across our ecosystem. Instead of applying surface polish, you'll tackle core visual and structural challenges, building scalable design patterns, improving user journeys, and shaping how our web interfaces operate across devices. You'll collaborate directly with product managers and developers, bringing visual clarity to complicated workflows and ensuring our web pages meet the high standards our users expect.

Day to day, you will:

  • Design responsive, accessible web pages and interaction flows.
  • Build, maintain, and evolve scalable web design systems and UI component libraries.
  • Turn complex technical concepts and user requirements into intuitive visual experiences.
  • Collaborate closely with developers to ensure implementation stays true to design intent.
  • Test, iterate, and refine designs based on user feedback and real-world usage patterns.
