Product Lead / Entrepreneur in Residence (Project Bonsai)

About JetBrains At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create. The Innovation Hub at JetBrains is dedicated to exploring groundbreaking products that open new markets and transform pioneering ideas into impactful solutions. About the team We are Project Bonsai, an early-stage experimental startup within JetBrains’ Innovation Hub. Our goal is to build the infrastructure for AI-spec-driven development, where: System requirements, architecture, and code are formally connected. AI agents are guided by infrastructure requirements and developers' intentions for greater reliability and trust. The system can detect and prevent spec-code drift. We are a small, hands-on team, working on a project that’s still in its early stages. We have a working prototype, but the core intermediate language design, architecture, tooling, and UX are still being shaped. This is an opportunity to do greenfield product work, not maintenance or incremental development. About the role We are looking for a Product Lead / Entrepreneur in Residence to work alongside the technical founder and own the product strategy for Bonsai. This is not a traditional product management role. Your
