• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with a bias toward clarity and

execution * Clear and precise communicator, especially when translating between technical and non‑technical audiences * Comfortable managing multiple workstreams and priorities in a fast‑moving environment * Collaborative by nature, but confident operating independently when needed Life at Black Duck At Black Duck, technical teams are trusted to solve meaningful problems that directly support secure software development worldwide.
