About the role

Headquarters: London, United Kingdom

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.

Bonsai is an innovative project within JetBrains' Innovation Hub. Its aim is to help developers keep AI agents aligned and under control, focusing only on what really matters in the development workflow. Our goal is to build an infrastructure for AI-powered spec-driven development that helps teams ship complex systems efficiently, while keeping outcomes trustworthy, auditable, and flexible as requirements and code evolve.

We already have a working prototype and are preparing an Alpha. We’re looking for a Product Manager to work with our team as we move from prototype to product, validating developer needs, sharpening positioning, and setting early priorities.

This will be an exciting opportunity if you:

Want to create something new.

Care about building trust in AI.

Enjoy zero-to-one product development.

In this role, you will:

Talk to developers and run discovery interviews to understand real workflows and pain points.

Define the product direction, including the ICP, key scenarios, and what we build first.

Track the market and competitors to inform priorities.

We will be happy to have you on our team if you:

Have at least one year of experience as a Product Manager or in a role with the equivalent level of ownership and responsibility – for example, leading discovery and delivery end to end.

Have a strong technical mindset, ideally, with production coding experience.

Are comfortable working with ambiguity and enjoy turning uncertainty into a plan through discovery.

We would be especially thrilled if you:

Have zero-to-one product development experience (early product discovery, shaping a new product, design partners, first real adoption).

Have experience with developer tools, IDEs, workflow products, or developer productivity platforms.

Are familiar with or curious about AI-assisted development, AI agents, and how teams integrate them into real systems.
