About the Role
JetBrains creates intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. Its products help more than 15 million users and over 300,000 companies solve complex problems, with a mission to make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale. NoPressure is an early-stage startup within JetBrains' Innovation Hub. It began with AI-powered simulations for practicing high-stakes workplace conversations and is exploring how agentic AI and real-world context can provide personalized, moment-of-need practice and support at work.
