JetBrains Internships in 2021

We succeeded in organizing JetBrains internships in some of our locations. Here is a list of the types of internships that we offered in 2021:
Developers, JetBrains Research, QA, Support, Design, Marketing, Market Research, Product Management, and HR.
The ability for interns to choose tasks that they are genuinely interested in is an important aspect of JetBrains internships. This is why we first collect project ideas from JetBrainers who are interested in mentoring, then post them on our website and receive applications from students. Competitive admissions consist of two stages: solving test problems and an interview with the mentor.

First of all I would highly recommend applying for the internship. This is a very cool experience! Don’t be afraid of the internship: it can be tricky at the beginning, but then you are drawn into it and you’ll get a charge from it.

Apply for the projects you are really interested in, follow your goal, and you will certainly succeed in it all.

Our brand new IDE is designed specifically for those involved in exploratory data analysis and prototyping ML models. DataSpell combines the interactivity of Jupyter notebooks with the intelligent Python and R coding assistance of PyCharm in one convenient environment.
Qodana
Qodana is a code quality monitoring platform that allows you to evaluate the integrity of the code you own, contract, or purchase. It brings all the smart features you love from JetBrains IDEs into your CI/CD pipelines.
Compose Multiplatform
Compose Multiplatform is a declarative, multiplatform UI framework for Kotlin that makes UI development a pleasure. It currently supports Desktop, Web, and Android (via interop with Jetpack Compose). High-performance and hardware-rendering support is achieved by leveraging the powerful native Skia library.
FleetPreview
We have unveiled Fleet, our next-generation IDE and lightweight editor. It's flexible and polyglot, with support for collaboration and remote workflows. It's built from scratch but uses the IntelliJ code-processing engine for smart code editing. Subscribe to email updates for Fleet news.
Introducing Remote Development
Eliminate hardware limitations and save hours on setup by hosting your source code, toolchains, and IDE backend on a remote server. It will handle all the processing and you will be able to work on projects as seamlessly as if they were hosted locally. The new remote development workflow is currently available for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional, GoLand, PhpStorm, RubyMine, WebStorm, and CLion.
Remote Development with Space
Create, prebuild, share, reproduce, hibernate, and manage your dev environments with Space – a unified platform for the entire software development pipeline. Run them centrally in the cloud, and connect to them from JetBrains IDEs.

JetBrainers themselves made an average of 1.5K+ code commits to 471 open source projects per month.
committers from The Apache Software Foundation and 75 Drupal core contributors received complimentary licenses for their work on open-source projects as a part of their special partnership with JetBrains.
Continued Support for Open Source
Launch of The PHP Foundation
We're happy and proud to announce the creation of The PHP Foundation. JetBrains, together with Automattic (WordPress), Acquia (Drupal), Zend, Laravel, Symfony, Private Packagist, Tideways, PrestaShop, and Craft CMS, initiated the launch of a non-profit organization to support, promote, and advance the PHP language. JetBrains will contribute $100K annually to the PHP Foundation.
Support for the Python Software Foundation and the Django Software Foundation
In 2021, we helped the Django Software Foundation and the Python Software Foundation with their fundraising. We managed to contribute $70K in support of the Django and Python communities and the continued development of the framework and language.
Support for Open Web Docs
JetBrains joined Open Web Docs as a member of its Steering Committee and donated $20K to the project. We're committed to helping Open Web Docs fulfill its mission of supporting high-quality web platform documentation that is open and inclusive for all.
Launch of the OSS Power-Ups initiative
In this initiative, we put a spotlight on selected open-source .NET projects and gave them a major boost through sponsorship and raising awareness about ways of contributing to the .NET OSS ecosystem.
JetBrains Mono Added to Google Documents
In December 2020, JetBrains Mono, a free and open source typeface for developers, was released on Google Fonts and has now been officially added to GSuite.
You can use it to write code snippets in your Google Docs, make a beautiful, branded presentation in Google Slides, or set the font size really small and make all your content fit nicely in Google Sheets. You don't need to think twice about using small font sizes with Mono – it is designed specially to support them – but consider switching to Medium weight for more pronounced letter forms.
Kotlin Turns 10
Kotlin is an open-source programming language for backend, cross-platform, web, and native app development that is used by more than 5M developers around the world.

Shelby Cohen
Congrats to the Kotlin team on all their amazing work! I love using a language that just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward to seeing the usage of Kotlin continue to grow around the world!
Rahul Pandey
I use Kotlin for everything I teach. I think it makes app development much faster and much easier, given that it's 100% interoperable with Java and all the Java libraries that have been developed. I'm onboard 100%, my students really enjoy it, and I think Kotlin is a really great tool for education.
Marc Bowes
The Amazon QLDB team uses Kotlin extensively. We love it for its expressiveness, seamless interop with Java, and excellent coroutine support. Kudos to JetBrains on creating a fantastic language!
