Lead Software Engineer - AgenticAI

Lead Product Developer – Agentic AI Data Management Platform

BMC empowers nearly 80% of the Forbes Global 100 to accelerate business value, using an industry‑leading portfolio that unlocks human and machine potential to drive growth, innovation, and sustainable success. We connect people, systems, and data to power large organizations and give them a competitive advantage.

We are looking for a Lead Product Developer to help build our next‑generation Agentic‑AI data management platform from 0–1. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role for a senior engineer who thrives in early‑stage environments, wears multiple hats, and takes pride in shipping real products used by external enterprise customers.

• Design, build, and iterate core components of a data automation and data management platform, taking features from concept to production in a 0–1 product environment.
• Write high‑quality Python code, review pull requests, and improve existing systems; maintain a bias toward simplicity, maintainability, and delivery.
• Collaborate with the product architect on system design, trade‑offs, and evolving technical direction as the product matures and real customer constraints emerge.
• Implement capabilities around data orchestration, data lineage, observability, governance, and resilience, with a practical understanding of enterprise data platforms at scale.
• Build integrations with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and enterprise systems for automation and deployment in real‑world environments.
• Contribute to pragmatic engineering standards, including CI/CD, automated testing, and Dev Ops practices appropriate for a fast‑moving, early‑stage team.
• Partner closely with product management to translate requirements into working software, provide feedback, and support rapid learning from customer insights.
• Take ownership of features and subsystems end‑to‑end, proactively identifying gaps and moving work forward even when requirements are incomplete or evolving.

• 8+ years of professional software development experience, including building and shipping B2B products for external customers.
• Strong proficiency in Python with hands‑on experience delivering and maintaining production‑grade systems.
• Good system‑design skills, able to balance short‑term delivery and long‑term platform evolution.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, startup‑style environments where priorities evolve and engineers lead through execution.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders.

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Familiarity with containerization and distributed systems (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, microservices).
• Exposure to data technologies: relational databases, cloud data warehouses, data transformation frameworks, object storage.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Dev Ops practices.

• Solid experience with data products, especially in data orchestration, data management platforms, data lineage, observability, or governance.
• Experience building or extending workflow orchestration platforms (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect), including custom operators and production deployments.
• Experience contributing to or commercializing open‑source software.
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, including how emerging technologies (e.g., LLMs) could enhance automation or developer productivity in data platforms.
