Senior Product Manager (JetBrains Context)

Responsibilities

• As agents get better at searching for themselves, what is the durable value of a managed retrieval layer? We need someone with an opinionated answer to own JetBrains Context as a product – defining what it is for, who it is for, how we measure success, and where it goes next.
• This is a hands-on role where you'll manage the product from a terminal and agent session rather than slides. You'll bridge the technical core and cross-functional teams: collaborating closely with engineering and ML teams on indexing pipelines and retrieval quality, working with Air, IDE, and Junie teams on…
• Day to day, you will
• Build and maintain a deep working understanding of chunking, embeddings, index freshness, retrieval, reranking, and agent-facing surfaces.
• Define and defend an opinionated vision for the product's evolution, including explicit target audiences, use cases, and key success metrics.
• Translate product strategy into actionable problem statements, priorities, plans, and milestones with an explicit definition of “done”.
• Communicate product direction clearly to engineering, leadership, cross-functional stakeholders, customers, and prospects.
• Analyze competing context and code-search products through direct use to establish clear differentiators and identify gaps.
• Define core operational and product metrics – index freshness, retrieval quality, agent task outcomes, adoption, retention, and unit economics – to guide decision-making.
• Represent the product externally by sharing roadmaps, publishing updates, speaking to developer audiences, and gathering community feedback.
