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.
Kotlin is a modern programming language created by JetBrains that targets the Java, Android, JavaScript, and Native platforms. Kotlin has been rapidly gaining popularity since 2016; it is now an official language for Android development and is supported in many frameworks, engines, and tools.
The language itself is also a large Kotlin project. The Kotlin Infrastructure team is working on improving developer productivity, making our continuous integration server fast and reliable, ensuring security for our releases, and automating the release cycle and testing tasks.
To cover these and other tasks related to the infrastructure and developer processes in the Kotlin project, we are looking for an Infrastructure/DevOps Engineer to join the team.

- Know how to optimize infrastructure.
- Have contributed to open-source projects or developed projects of your own.
