JetBrains is a company passionate about helping developers work faster and with fewer distractions. They are seeking a Product Manager to help move Hexana, a reverse engineering and binary analysis toolkit, from early validation to a scalable product by driving research and refining direction.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct discovery interviews with system engineers, reverse engineers, compiler developers, and other advanced users to understand their workflows and needs at the binary layer
- Translate technical capabilities and user pain points into a clear, defensible roadmap
- Continuously validate hypotheses and refine positioning through research and competitive analysis
- Track the reverse engineering and binary tooling landscape, including IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, and others, to inform strategy
- Define and evolve the go-to-market and monetization approach
- Communicate product progress, strategy, and results to JetBrains sponsors and internal stakeholders
Requirements:
- Have at least 5 years of experience in product management or a role with similar ownership and responsibility
- Have experience building or scaling developer tools, IDE plugins, workflow platforms, or other technically demanding products
- Have directly influenced the success of a technically complex product, not just built processes around it
- Have a strong technical mindset and can earn the respect of engineers working on compilers, binary formats, and low-level systems
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy turning exploration and research into clear product direction
- Have worked in reverse engineering, compiler, security, or binary tooling
- Have zero-to-one experience shaping an early product, validating hypotheses, and driving initial adoption
- Care about making complex, low-level systems more elegant, accessible, and integrated into the developer experience
