Job description
Product Manager – Developer Tools (Binary Intelligence)
Company Overview
At JetBrains, code is our passion. Since 2000, we’ve focused on helping developers work faster and with fewer distractions by automating routine checks and fixes.
Job Summary
Hexana is a project within JetBrains’ Innovation Hub. We’re building a reverse engineering and binary analysis toolkit that brings semantic understanding of compiled binaries into the IDE and AI-assisted disassembly workflows. We’re now looking for a Product Manager to help move Hexana from early validation to a scalable, strategically positioned product by driving research, refining direction, and building the case for long-term impact.
Key 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 / Qualifications
- 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.
Preferred Qualifications
- 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.
