Product Manager – Agent Interoperability (ACP)
About the role
About JetBrains
At JetBrains, we build developer tools that help engineers stay focused on solving hard problems instead of fighting routine work.
About This Role
Within JetBrains AI, we are collaborating with Zed on the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open protocol that lets AI coding agents work inside editors and IDEs. ACP is already supported in JetBrains AI Assistant, and the project is jointly governed by JetBrains and Zed.
We see ACP as a long-term investment in interoperability, developer choice, and durable AI-powered workflows across the JetBrains ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
- Help JetBrains shape protocol work from the product side
- Define the right developer scenarios
- Align internal and external stakeholders
- Turn ecosystem needs into clear priorities for JetBrains and the protocol
About You
This is not a generalist product management role, nor a pure protocol engineering role. It sits between developer-experience product work and protocol evolution.
This role is often a strong fit for someone who has spent several years as a software engineer – ideally on APIs, SDKs, web/backend systems, libraries, frameworks, or platform integrations – and then moved into product.
