JetBrains s.r.o., formerly IntelliJ Software s.r.o., is a Czech software development private limited company that creates tools for software developers and project managers. Founded in February 2000 in Prague by three Russian software developers: Sergey Dmitriev, Valentin Kipyatkov, and Eugene Belyaev, the company was initially called IntelliJ Software. Its first product was IntelliJ Renamer, a tool for code refactoring in Java. Over two decades, JetBrains has grown from a company with a single product and one office to a multinational entity with over 2,000 employees spread across multiple locations and offering more than 30 products and services. The company's headquarters are in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with offices in China, Europe, and the United States.

JetBrains is renowned for its extensive portfolio of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and CLion. These tools are designed to enhance developer productivity and provide an enjoyable coding experience. In 2011, JetBrains created the Kotlin programming language, which runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can also be compiled to JavaScript or native code. Kotlin has gained significant traction, becoming a preferred language for Android app development. Beyond IDEs and programming languages, JetBrains offers team tools like TeamCity for continuous integration and delivery, and YouTrack for issue tracking. The company is also committed to open source, having open-sourced the core functionality of IntelliJ IDEA through the Community Edition and actively contributing to and supporting various open-source projects. JetBrains fosters a developer-driven culture, emphasizing autonomy and trust, where important decisions are often the result of discussion and agreement. The company also invests in education through JetBrains Academy, an online platform for learning programming.
