Job Summary
Who is Sonar
Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production amplifies developers productivity in concert with AI assistants and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code regardless of who writes it your internal team genAI or third parties resulting in more secure reliable and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community Sonars solutions support over 30 programming languages frameworks and infrastructure technologies. Today Sonar is used by 7M developers and 400K organizations worldwide including the DoD Microsoft NASA MasterCard Siemens and T-Mobile.
We believe in developing great products that are supported by great internal teams and a strong culture. We are highly committed to and obsessed with the company users each other and our open source community. We have high standards and hold each other accountable for acting with positivity dedication thoughtfulness empathy and passion daily.
We are deliberate with our decisions with high clarity of intention. At the same time we feel extreme urgency and move forward quickly.
And lastly we are highly effective and operationally efficient. We operate collectively as One Team to accomplish our goals.
At Sonar CODE is more than just an acronym its a mindset that defines daily operations.
Why You Should Apply:
At Sonar were a group of brilliant motivated and driven professionals working hard to help supercharge developers to build better faster. Sonar helps to continuously improve code quality and code security while reducing developer toil. This means that developers can focus on doing more of what they love and less of what they dont. Our solutions dont just solve symptoms of problems we help fix issues at the source for all code whether its developer-written AI-generated or from third parties.
We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA Switzerland the UK Singapore and Germany. Team members should be able to come to work every day work on a product they are proud of love what they do and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community were all about the mission: supercharge developers to build better faster.
The Impact You Will Have:
The Sonar Code Next team is looking for a visionary Staff Software Engineer to join a fast-paced dynamic group at the intersection of Large Language Models (LLMs) static analysis and programming languages. As a technical leader in this team youll directly influence AI-driven solutions by designing and scaling the tools and infrastructure that make these initiatives this hands-on high-impact role youll focus on architecting methodologies that enhance code qualityensuring that all solutions are scalable maintainable and ready for global production. Working on cutting-edge AI-driven projects youll architect and steer the boundaries of automated code quality and security.
Our mission is to harness our expertise in static analysis and LLMs to advance AIs ability to understand generate and improve code. We develop prototypes grounded in cutting-edge research testing innovations across the LLM development lifecyclefrom data processing and model training to benchmarking. Our approach leverages techniques such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) direct preference optimization (DPO) reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to enhance model performance and code quality.
What You Will Do Daily:
- Architect and oversee the tooling and infrastructure to support AI-driven solutions for code quality and security across diverse language ecosystems.
- Lead the design and optimization of AI-focused experiments creating robust systems to evaluate modern techniques including fine-tuning RAG DPO and RLHF.
- Write scalable production-quality code mainly in Python and sometimes in Java TypeScript or Rust to support AI workflows dataset processing and evaluation frameworks.
- Design and maintain high-throughput benchmarking pipelines to assess LLM performance in generating clean maintainable code.
- Process and refine complex datasets ensuring theyre structured and optimized for training and evaluation.
- Define the integration strategy between AI systems and static analysis tools enabling AI-assisted insights for developers.
- Collaborate with static analysis experts and AI researchers to translate experimental research into scalable working software architectures.
- Ensure the scalability reliability and maintainability of AI tooling as it transitions from research-driven experimentation to enterprise production.
The Experience You Will Need:
- Proven mastery of software engineering with deep proficiency in Python as well as experience in other languages such as Java C Rust or JS/TS.
- Advanced software architecture foundation including distributed systems complex algorithms enterprise CI/CD and best practices for building global-scale software.
- Deep curiosity about LLMs static analysis and the nuances of multiple programming languages recognizing their specific strengths and challenges.
- Genuine interest in AI-driven software development and a proven ability to lead projects integrating AI with developer tools.
- Pragmatic approach to problem-solving balancing high-level technical strategy with the hands-on building of production-ready systems.
- Self-driven mindset with the technical authority to challenge the status quo yet remain humble and open to learning and feedback.
- Bonus points for hands-on experience with LLM-related projects static analysis or deep expertise in compiler theory.
- Leadership and Ownership: You can take a complex vision from concept to completion guiding others through technical uncertainty.
Why You Will Love It Here:
- Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!).
- Great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly while still being passionate leaders in our domains.
- We have a flexible work policy that includes 3 days in-office and 2 days work-from-home each week for those located near our office locations; some locations such as Dubai India Japan and Australia operate fully remotely.
- We have a growth mindset. We love learning and believe continuous education is critical to our an ever-changing industry new skills are necessary and were happy to help our team acquire them.
- As the leader in our field our products and services are as strong as our internal team members.
- We embrace transparency with regular meetings cascading messages and updates on the growth and success of our organization.
