Product Designer (.NET Ecosystem)

About the Role

Microsoft estimates there are 7M+ monthly active .NET developers worldwide. Our tools – Rider, ReSharper, and various profilers – reach roughly half of them. These users are experts with strong habits and strong opinions. They know exactly how they want to work – which makes them one of the hardest audiences to design for, and one of the most rewarding. Your craft really matters here.

We're looking for a product designer to own end-to-end experiences across the .NET ecosystem. You'll partner with engineers and product managers who treat design as a strategic input, not a final polish step, and you'll ship work that developers use every single day.

You'll move across products rather than specializing in one, which means holding complexity in your head and making decisions that work across contexts. You'll also coordinate with the broader IntelliJ Platform design team – JetBrains builds IDEs across dozens of languages, and ecosystem coherence matters.

What You'll Work On

The .NET ecosystem includes:

• Rider – a cross-platform .NET IDE competing with Visual Studio
• ReSharper – the Visual Studio extension that started it all
• Profilers – performance and memory analysis tools (dotTrace and dotMemory)
• VS Code extensions – lightweight tooling for broader reach
• Cross-product experiences – onboarding, licensing, AI integration, and discoverability
