JetBrains

JetBrains is a global software company that develops tools for software developers and teams. Founded in February 2000, the company says its goal is to create intelligent, productivity-enhancing tools and to make software development a more productive and enjoyable experience. Its headquarters are in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with research and development centers and sales operations in multiple countries.

The company’s product portfolio spans software development, team collaboration, data work, and education. Its integrated development environments include IntelliJ IDEA for Java and Kotlin, PyCharm for Python, WebStorm for JavaScript and TypeScript, CLion for C and C++, Rider for .NET and game development, and DataGrip for databases. JetBrains also offers products for additional languages and development workflows, including RubyMine, PhpStorm, GoLand, and tools for .NET developers.

For software teams, JetBrains provides TeamCity, a continuous integration and delivery platform, and YouTrack, a project management tool used by software development and other teams. Its broader portfolio includes Qodana for code quality and static analysis, Datalore for data science teams, and the Kotlin programming language, which JetBrains describes as a concise multiplatform language it developed. The company also offers AI-powered developer tools and products for learning programming.

JetBrains serves individual developers as well as organizations. The company reports that its tools are used by more than 15 million people and by over 300,000 organizations, including 88 Fortune Global Top 100 companies. Its products are designed for a range of programming languages, frameworks, and technology stacks, and its team offerings support activities such as project management, continuous integration, code quality, and data science.

JetBrains began in Prague and has grown into an international company with offices and operations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Its official company materials describe a portfolio that has expanded from developer tools into programming languages, team products, AI-assisted workflows, and educational resources. The company remains privately funded, according to its corporate overview.

JetBrains describes a hands-on product culture in which employees use the tools the company builds to develop its own products—a practice it calls “dogfooding.” It says this helps the team gain direct insight into its software and identify areas for improvement. The company also describes its workplace as open and inclusive, emphasizing equal opportunity, collaboration, and the value of different perspectives.
