About the Role

As an agentic-first Senior Software Engineer, you will design, build, and ship agentic-first features within Nexus Repository Manager. You'll own meaningful pieces of the product end-to-end, and long-running multi-agent development workflows will be your primary mode of work — you'll spend most of your time directing and verifying agents rather than hand-typing code. You'll partner with Staff and Principal engineers to deliver capabilities that help enterprises secure their software supply chains at massive scale.

Why You Will Want to Apply

  • Ship customer-facing, agentic-first features in a product used by 15 million developers and 70% of the Fortune 100.
  • Practice a fundamentally new way of building software — long-running, multi-agent development — alongside Staff and Principal engineers who are defining the craft.
  • Work on real distributed systems problems — Java, cloud, data, and security — in a codebase that matters to the global open source ecosystem.
  • Grow into a Staff trajectory with clear mentorship, meaningful ownership, and direct exposure to how agentic tooling is reshaping engineering.
