Lead QA Engineer

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Since our founding in 2000, we have been dedicated to creating the strongest, most effective developer tools in the world. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, allowing developers to grow, discover, and create.

Remote Development is a technology that enables you to delegate intensive and sensitive tasks to a server while you interact with the IDE through a lightweight client. CodeCanvas is our latest service designed to streamline this process. It automates the management of remote development environments by handling the setup and configuration of remote hosts, managing software and dependencies, coordinating computing resources, and optimizing the time-to-code metrics.

CodeCanvas addresses common business challenges, such as the presence of sensitive source code on individual developer machines, the difficulties of configuration management for developer workstations, and the slow onboarding process for new developers. With CodeCanvas, businesses can ensure that their developers can quickly and securely start coding in their favorite IDEs with just a click, while we manage the complexities of environment setup and dependency management.

End users benefit from the simplicity and efficiency of CodeCanvas, enabling them to focus on writing code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
