Solution Architect, Software Engineer, UX/UI Designer, Full-Stack Developer, Data Engineer, IT Consultant at Geigenbau-Meisterwerkstatt
- A digital system made up of special software and hardware components. The overall system replaces the traditional process with job slips and handwritten notes and enables more efficient order intake. Orders and work steps for the violin-making company’s projects can now be recorded, processed and logged in real time directly on the workshop’s touchscreen PC, by mobile phone or on the desktop. This gives customers a more transparent view of the work on their instruments and allows them to track the status and progress of their instrument through their customer account.

About the technology
JetBrains at a glance
JetBrains is a software company and ecosystem known for professional development tools. Its products include IntelliJ IDEA, Kotlin, TeamCity, YouTrack and a broad family of JetBrains IDEs. Companies use them to write, test, review, build and manage software across desktop, web, mobile and enterprise environments.
Products and platforms
JetBrains IDEs support languages such as Java, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go and .NET technologies. IntelliJ IDEA provides deep code navigation, refactoring, testing and framework support, while Kotlin is used for backend services, Android applications and multiplatform solutions. TeamCity automates build and delivery workflows, and YouTrack supports agile planning and issue management.
Typical project work
- Configure IntelliJ IDEA for large Java, Kotlin or mixed-language codebases
- Build backend services, Android apps and Kotlin Multiplatform products
- Create TeamCity pipelines for testing, packaging and deployment
- Structure YouTrack projects, workflows and reporting
- Standardize coding practices across distributed teams
JetBrains specialists often connect development tools with Git, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud services, artifact repositories and observability systems. They can also improve local environments, onboarding and release governance.
When companies bring in experts
Companies seek freelance expertise when a team is adopting Kotlin, replacing inconsistent IDE setups or moving from manual releases to TeamCity automation. They also bring in specialists to modernize Java applications, establish shared coding standards or organize YouTrack for a growing product group. In Germany, this work may involve remote collaboration across locations or on-site sessions with teams that need German and English communication.
Skills that matter
Strong professionals combine product knowledge with sound software practices. They understand Gradle or Maven, Git workflows, automated testing, code review and dependency management. Depending on the assignment, useful adjacent skills include Spring Boot, Android, REST and GraphQL APIs, cloud deployment, containerization, security controls and agile delivery.
The best fit is not defined by tool familiarity alone. Look for clear decisions about project structure, build reproducibility, IDE configuration and team conventions. A capable specialist explains trade-offs, documents changes and leaves behind workflows that other professionals can maintain.
Choosing the right specialist
- Match the expert’s JetBrains products to the actual project scope
- Review examples involving the relevant language, framework or delivery process
- Ask how they handle build failures, dependency upgrades and IDE consistency
- Confirm experience with the team’s repository, cloud and release setup
- Check communication habits for remote or on-site collaboration
Discuss the expected deliverables before work begins. A focused assessment can cover an IDE standard, Kotlin migration, TeamCity pipeline, YouTrack configuration or a documented development workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about JetBrains, in one place.
JetBrains tools support software development from coding through delivery and project tracking. IntelliJ IDEA and other IDEs help professionals work with languages and frameworks, while TeamCity handles continuous integration and YouTrack manages issues, planning and workflows.
JetBrains IDEs generally provide deeper built-in analysis, refactoring and framework integration, while Visual Studio Code emphasizes extensibility and Eclipse remains common in established Java environments. The right choice depends on language support, team standards, licensing, performance needs and the existing development workflow.
A strong JetBrains specialist may also work with Java, Kotlin, Gradle, Maven, Git, automated testing and Spring Boot. For delivery-focused work, TeamCity knowledge can be combined with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud services and artifact repositories.
JetBrains work does not require the same depth for every assignment. A simple IDE standardization may need focused product knowledge, while a Kotlin migration, complex TeamCity setup or large YouTrack rollout calls for experience with architecture, automation and team adoption.
JetBrains projects are often suitable for remote collaboration because configuration, code review, pipeline work and documentation can be handled online. On-site sessions may still help with workshops, tool adoption or coordination across teams, and German or English communication can be agreed in advance.
JetBrains is strongly associated with Java through IntelliJ IDEA, but its ecosystem also supports Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, .NET technologies and other languages. Kotlin Multiplatform and the wider IDE family make it relevant to backend, mobile, web and cross-platform work.
A JetBrains freelancer can deliver a standardized IDE setup, Kotlin or Java code, test automation, TeamCity pipelines, migration guidance or YouTrack workflows. Good deliverables include documentation, reproducible configuration and clear handover material for the internal team.
Look for a JetBrains specialist who can explain configuration choices, handle dependency and build issues, and connect tool decisions to maintainability. Ask for concrete examples, review their testing and documentation approach, and use a small technical assessment when the project has significant integration or migration risk.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used JetBrains in their recent projects is 92 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 740 € based on an 8-hour working day.
