Description

  • Lead the design and delivery of enterprise-grade agentic-first capabilities within Nexus Repository Manager.
  • Set technical direction for a major product area and own architecture decisions across that area.
  • Orchestrate long-running, multi-agent workflows across decomposition, implementation, testing, review, and verification.
  • Take major initiatives from ambiguous problem statements through design, execution, rollout, and long-term operability.
  • Define evals, harnesses, guardrails, and review practices that enable safe use of agent-generated code.
  • Establish internal engineering playbooks, tooling, and rituals for working with agents.
  • Mentor Senior engineers and raise the engineering bar across the team.
  • Own non-functional requirements such as performance, reliability, and security for the product area.
  • Partner with Product, Security Research, UX, and Support to translate customer needs into technical plans and conduct design reviews.

  • Working knowledge of software supply chain security, including SBOM formats (CycloneDX, SPDX), SCA, SLSA provenance, Sigstore/cosign signing, vulnerability analysis (OSV, NVD), and common package ecosystem attacks.
  • Hands-on experience designing, running, and scaling multi-agent systems such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor background agents, custom orchestrators, or LangGraph-style graphs.
  • Experience with MCP tooling, shared context and memory, agent handoffs, and robust eval harnesses.
  • Experience defining test harnesses, observability, and review workflows for verifying code.
  • Experience leading internal rollouts, publishing, or open-sourcing agentic engineering practices (preferred).
  • Product engineering mindset with ability to make product decisions and drive trade-offs independently.

Benefits

  • Parental leave policy.
  • Paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO).
  • Diversity and inclusion working groups.
