This role is less about general programming depth and more about the hands-on experience needed to design and harden production-grade AI agent systems — multi-agent orchestration, tool use, and MCP-based integrations — that AI coding agents, IDEs, and orchestration frameworks can consume natively, extending work already underway on projects like the Black Duck MCP Gateway and SAST AI Fix Recommendation.</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 9.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p> <p lang="en-CA" style="margin-left: .375in; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11.0pt; color: #1a1a1a;">This is a hands-on, senior technical role built for someone who takes initiative. We're looking for an engineer who doesn't wait to be told what to build — who spots gaps in how our products show up in the agentic developer workflow, proposes a direction, and drives it to production. You'll be setting the architecture and technical direction — not just executing against a spec — for how Black Duck shows up inside the tools developers already use — from IDEs to CI/CD to PR workflows — while partnering closely with Product and Applied AI teams shaping the company's broader agentic strategy.</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 9.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p> <p lang="en-CA" style="margin-left: .375in; margin-top: 15pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 13.0pt; color: #c8102e;">Key Responsibilities</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 9.0pt; color: #2b6dab;"> </span></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;" type="disc"> <li lang="en-CA" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11.0pt; color: #1a1a1a;">Own the "big picture" solution architecture for the integrations team — designing and hardening how agentic workflows, MCP surfaces, and multi-agent orchestration patterns (task decomposition, tool use, agent hand-off, frameworks such as Pydantic AI, LangChain, and LangGraph) fit together as a coherent system across IDEs, CI/CD, and pull request workflows. This is the core capability the role exists to fill, more so than general programming depth on its own.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"> </span></li> <li lang="en-CA" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11.0pt; color: #1a1a1a;">Identify new opportunities to bring Black Duck's capabilities into agentic developer and CI workflows, and take the initiative to prototype, pitch, and build them — this role is as much about proposing what we should build next as executing on what's already defi
