Lead Forward Deployed Engineer (AI-Native Software Development )

At JetBrains , we build intelligent tools for developers and development teams. More than 15 million developers and over 300,000 companies worldwide rely on our products to solve real, complex problems. Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and bring more joy to software development. Inside the Professional Services department, we are building a team of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to enable JetBrains consulting partners to transform their customers' software development lifecycles and to help our customers adopt AI-native development with JetBrains Central, our new platform for agent-driven software development. JetBrains Central connects tools, agents, and infrastructure so enterprises can adopt automated AI workflows with full visibility into results, costs, and processing speed. It provides three core capabilities: Governance and control: Policy enforcement, identity and access management, observability, auditability, and cost attribution for agent-driven work, with some of these capabilities already available via the JetBrains Console. Agent execution infrastructure: Cloud agent runtimes and computation provisioning that allow agents to run reliably across development environments. Agent optimization and context: Shared semantic context across repositories and projects, enabling agents to access relevant knowledge, as well as task routing to the most appropriate models or tools. About the role JetBrains has been building developer tools since 2000, and today, 420 of the Fortune 500 rely on our products. As a Lead FDE, you will work directly with these customers to deploy JetBrains Central into complex enterprise environments and help early adopters move from experimental AI usage to governed, scalable AI-native development. You will act as a trusted advisor to customer engineering teams and consulting partners, mentor other FDEs, and be responsible for our most complex deployments. Your work in the field will directly influence how
