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.
