Continue is seeking a prolific engineer with strong experience writing Kotlin/Java, Swing, or JetBrains plugins to help us build a user experience designed from first principles to feel native in JetBrains IDEs. In this role, you will take ownership of the open-source plugin by designing, building, and maintaining a product loved by many, including yourself.

- You have a strong design sense and iterate extremely quickly on user interfaces
- You are extremely detail-oriented and care deeply about building a product that you are proud to share with others
