Sonatype provides intelligence & automated governance to help you build faster & safer with open source and AI. From the creators of Nexus Repository. Backed by Accel and NEA.
About the role
As an agentic-first Staff Software Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of enterprise-grade, agentic-first capabilities within Nexus Repository Manager. You'll set technical direction for a major product area, orchestrate fleets of agents across parallel workstreams as your primary mode of work, and define the agentic engineering practices that other teams will learn from.
What they're looking for
- You reside in the Atlanta area and are flexible for future hybrid work
- Product Engineering Mindset: Half product, half engineering. You make product decisions independently and drive scope, trade-offs, and sequencing without constant PM hand-holding
- F ocused on What Matters: You want to build mission-critical products that drive revenue and transform how customers build software
- Staff-level Engineering Skills: 7+ years of professional software development, with a track record of leading multi-quarter technical initiatives that span multiple teams or services
- Deep Technical Foundation: Strong experience with Java, Cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP), and large-scale distributed systems — including performance tuning, data-intensive services, and production operability at scale
- Deeply Curious: You push agentic tools to their limits — probing where they work, where they break, and how to make them better. You're energized by being early in a fundamentally new way of building software
