JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have been striving 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 Platform Ul team focuses on developing essential parts of the IntelliJ Platform Ul. We aim to improve development agility and UI consistency by maintaining the UI component library and providing UI troubleshooting tools. One of our team's key directions is to bring a new, convenient UX to the platform and improve the usability of IntelliJ-based products. We actively participate in critical cross-team projects that impact IntelliJ IDEA’s market share, closely collaborating with the UX team and other platform and IDE teams.
