Alexander Zolotov

About

14 years at JetBrains, most recently leading a team on JetBrains Fleet — a next-generation IDE with remote-native and collaboration-first architecture. Fleet has since pivoted into JetBrains Air, an agentic development environment. Currently working on bringing Air to new platforms: web via WebAssembly, iOS, and Android.

Highlights

• Created GoLand, JetBrains' IDE for Go — started as an open-source plugin, grew into a successful commercial product.
• Built the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin, which became the sole official toolchain for developing IntelliJ-based plugins.
