Software Engineer (CLion, Embedded Debugging, and Integrations)
About this role
At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.
CLion is a cross-platform IDE for C and C++ that supports GCC, Clang, MSVC, GDB, and LLDB.
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the CLion team and help improve the embedded development experience in the IDE. You’ll work on debugger support, integrations with debug probes and servers, and RTOS-aware debugging features for embedded targets.
This role combines low-level engineering and product work, from interacting with debuggers and embedded tooling to integrating new capabilities into CLion's UI and workflows.
As part of our team, you will:
Develop CLion as a product and take part in discussions about new features.
Improve debugger support for embedded development scenarios.
Build integrations with debug probes, debug servers, and related tooling.
Work on RTOS integration and RTOS-aware debugging features.
Implement features for inspecting threads and tasks, memory, registers, and target states.
Support remote and cross-platform debugging workflows.
Collaborate with QA engineers and users to investigate issues and improve the product.
We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you:
Have 3+ years of commercial development experience in C++, Java, or Kotlin.
Understand how debuggers work and are interested in systems-level development.
Have experience with embedded software development and debugging.
Are familiar with GDB and/or LLDB.
Understand multithreading and low-level application behavior.
Are familiar with Unix, macOS, and Windows.
Understand OOP and know how to design modular, scalable APIs.
Can write automated tests.
Can work both independently and as part of a team.
We'll be especially thrilled if you:
Have experience with RTOSes, embedded targets, and firmware debugging.
Have worked with debug probes and vendor-specific embedded ecosystems.
Have experience with CMake, cross-toolchains, and the GNU Toolchain or Clang.
Have experience using Python.
Have experience with IntelliJ-based plugin development.
Have good written English skills.
How we develop CLion
CLion is based on the IntelliJ Platform, which is also the foundation for other JetBrains products such as IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PhpStorm, RubyMine, and PyCharm.
The source code is stored in Git repositories, some of which are available on GitHub.
Most of the source code is written in Java and Kotlin, while some debugger-related components are in C, C++, and Python.
CLion is a distributed team, and all team members communicate with users, discuss feature requests, take part in troubleshooting, and clarify bug reports.
