Product Manager – Agent Interoperability (ACP)

At JetBrains, we build developer tools that help engineers stay focused on solving hard problems instead of fighting routine work. Within JetBrains AI, we are collaborating with Zed on the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open protocol that lets AI coding agents work inside editors and IDEs. ACP is already supported in JetBrains AI Assistant, and the project is jointly governed by JetBrains and Zed. We see ACP as a long-term investment in interoperability, developer choice, and durable AI-powered workflows across the JetBrains ecosystem. (The JetBrains Blog). ACP evolves in the open. Real-time coordination happens in Zulip, actionable work is tracked in GitHub Issues, longer-form discussion happens in GitHub Discussions, and substantial protocol changes move through the RFD process. We need someone who can help JetBrains shape that work from the product side: define the right developer scenarios, align internal and external stakeholders, and turn ecosystem needs into clear priorities for JetBrains and for the protocol. (Agent Client Protocol). This is not a generalist product management role. It is also not a pure protocol engineering role. It sits between developer-experience product work and protocol evolution. This role is often a strong fit for someone who has spent several years as a software engineer – ideally on APIs, SDKs, web/backend systems, libraries, frameworks, or platform integrations – and then moved into product management or a hybrid product or engineering role.
