Role Overview
At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived 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.

We're now looking for a Senior Graphics/JVM Software Engineer with in-depth knowledge of modern hardware-accelerated APIs to join the JetBrains Runtime (JBR) team. Based on the LTS versions of OpenJDK, JBR is the low-level part of the IntelliJ Platform, the foundation for many JetBrains development tools, including IntelliJ IDEA.

We work on improving IntelliJ-based IDEs by developing new features (such as the Java Chromium Embedded Framework), participating in OpenJDK projects (like Lanai and Wakefield), and fixing JBR issues, most of which are targeted for upstreaming to OpenJDK.

Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Help ensure our IDEs look slick and run fast by providing low-level support for UI frameworks like Swing and Compose for desktop.

- 4+ years of C or C++ programming experience.
- Solid knowledge of Java and JVM internals
- A deep understanding of OOP.
- Multithreaded programming experience.
- Familiarity with system or UI application development on Unix, Windows, or macOS (using Cocoa, GNOME, Win32 API, etc.).
- In-depth knowledge of modern hardware-accelerated APIs, such as Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL, or D3D.
- The ability to optimize and refactor code, both yours and that of others.
- A responsible, independent, and disciplined approach to your work.
- Good teamwork skills.

We’d be especially thrilled if you:
- Know other programming languages, like Objective-C or Kotlin.
- Are familiar with Cocoa, X11, and Wayland technologies.
- Have deep knowledge of JVM architecture.
