At JetBrains, development is our passion. Since launching the TeamCity project 20 years ago, we've been striving to build the most powerful and effective CI/CD tool on Earth. By automating routine checks and supporting developers, DevOps engineers, QA specialists, and project managers, TeamCity accelerates production and frees teams to grow, discover, and create. TeamCity is a core part of our Orchestration Tools department - a feature-rich, highly available CI/CD service. Every day, TeamCity runs millions of builds for fintech companies, game studios, medical software providers, and many others. Our features serve everyone - even astronomers rely on TeamCity. The Build Tools Integration team focuses on tools like Maven, Gradle, NPM, .NET, and more. These integrations form the foundation of CI/CD processes, helping teams customize pipelines, gather insights, and generate reports with ease. * Looking inward: Thanks to these integrations, TeamCity provides market leading test reporting, issue analysis, and build problem detection. To do so, we often need to dive deep into the internals of the operating system and get to grips with the specifics of the software and hardware stacks used. * Looking outwards: We develop customer-facing features like recipes (our way of packaging the shareable pieces of build pipelines). A customer-oriented mindset means we pay a lot of attention to ideation, product planning, and analysis, and we are open about everything we do. At JetBrains, we value developers and their contribution to our success. We do not limit developers to just "doing the code." You will participate in system design sessions, product planning, reviews, and market analysis to the extent you are willing to.
