Who is Sonar
Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code review and verification we solve a critical problem: ensuring that software generated by AI-assisted developers or autonomous agents is reliable secure and maintainable.
Integrating seamlessly with Claude Code Codex Cursor GitHub Copilot Gemini and Devin we help over 75% of the Fortune 100 build trusted reliable compliant software. Customers who use Sonar are 44% less likely to report an outage due to AI-generated code.
We believe code verification is the critical missing link in the Agent-Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC). Industry giants like Nvidia ServiceNow Goldman Sachs AstraZeneca and Ford Motor on us to provide independent explainable consistent review and governance of their AI-generated code via products like:
SonarQube: The worlds leading AI code review and verification platform.
SonarQube Foundation Agent: Currently topping the leaderboards for agentic software repair.
SonarSweep & Sonar Context Augmentation: Providing the enterprise-grade context and constraints agents need to be truly effective.
Our team operates across global hubs in Austin Bochum Dubai Geneva London Singapore Tokyo and Washington D.C. We move with a mindset we call CODE:
With over $400M in revenue and profitable fast-paced growth we are building the backbone of the AI software revolution. If youre hungry to have an impact want to build at a fast pace and ready to work at the forefront of AI we want to hear from you.
