Ernst Haagsman is a Product Leader at JetBrains, where he currently leads the strategy for TeamCity and the integration of AI into CI/CD workflows. His work focuses on a question that matters to every engineering organization: how can continuous integration and delivery pipelines become smarter, faster, and more helpful as AI enters the toolchain?

Throughout his tenure at JetBrains, Ernst has held key leadership roles, including Head of Product for IDE Services, where he focused on scaling developer tools for large organizations. That experience taught him how developer productivity works at enterprise scale, from licensing and onboarding to the day-to-day workflows of thousands of engineers.

Ernst’s professional background spans software development, product marketing, and community management, an unusual combination that gives him a holistic perspective on building developer tools. He understands the technology, the messaging, and the community around a product, and he brings all three to bear on improving the developer experience.
