What a frontend developer does at JetBrains
summary
Front-end development at JetBrains covers building web UIs for YouTrack, TeamCity and Upsource, maintaining the open-source Ring UI React component library, and creating Kotlin/JS interfaces. Examples include a 48-hour hackathon that produced the Toolbox tray app later shipped to users, a browser extension adding card colors and a dark theme used by about 1,000 people to validate features, and a small promotional game for a YouTrack campaign; most prototypes are run to inform product decisions.
