The Dev Spaces team’s mission is to support developer productivity by providing Netflix engineers with on-demand, batteries-included development environments. Through the tight integration of IDEs, dev tooling, cloud workspaces, and Netflix’s internal Platform, our development environments will provide a development experience that guides engineers through the Netflix development lifecycle, minimizes friction, and reduces context switching.

About the role

In this role you'll focus on the deep integration of Jetbrains IDEs with internal Netflix platforms and our local and remote development environment products. With our team having been recently formed, this will be greenfield development that you’ll drive from the beginning.

Responsibilities

• Integrating IntelliJ and other Jetbrains IDEs with our fledgling internal remote workspace product. Our goal is to offer a development experience that feels as intuitive and familiar as local development.
• Building tooling, reusable libraries, and processes that make it easier for other teams to write, build, test, and distribute IDE plugins.
• Collaborating with Platform teams to find ways to pull context and guidance into the IDE. For example, automatically providing links to API documentation from sources, advising on patterns and best practices, offering in-IDE flows for federated search or Q&A.
• Establish our engagement model with users and Platform partners.

Requirements

• You have previously worked on a team that produces tooling for other engineers (IDEs, CLIs, web UIs).
• You have a product-centric mindset that you use to understand the needs of your users. You have the technical and interpersonal skills to collaboratively design the scalable systems and engineering solutions that meet those needs.
• You are comfortable working through ambiguity. This is a greenfield opportunity with many questions to answer.
• You have the communication skills required to collaborate with and influence teams and individuals in order to drive initiatives forward without a strict top-down mandate.
• You have professional-level proficiency with either a JVM language (ex: Java, Kotlin) or Javascript/Typescript.
• Nice to have: You have prior experience writing plugins for Jetbrains IDEs (ex: IntelliJ, PyCharm) or extensions for VSCode.
