Job Summary
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:
Committed to our customers and community.
Obsessed with quality.
Deliberate in our decisions.
Effective as one team.
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.
- Architect the Unified Remediation Engine. You will design the high-throughput decision logic that powers our remediation efforts. You will build the backend services that intelligently route requests between deterministic instant QuickFixes LLM-based reasoning fixes and complex Agentic flows.
- Build Robust Agent Architecture. You will contribute to the Sonar Remediation Agent code transitioning research concepts to a resilient high-scale production service. You will implement self-healing workflows where the Agent iteratively fixes the code it produces until the build is green.
- Solve the Sandboxing Problem. You will architect the secure execution environments required to run untrusted AI-generated code. You will design the isolation layers that allow Agents to iterate on code improvements without compromising our infrastructure.
- Engineer for Reliability & Safety. You will implement critical safety mechanisms like Circuit Breakers to automatically reroute requests to the proper engine when acceptance rates drop. Crucially you will own the cost/performance trade-off ensuring our AWS architecture scales to millions of events without letting token costs spiral.
- Act as a Technical Force Multiplier. Beyond building systems youll mentor the squad through design reviews and collaborate with the Research team to ensure our agent is not just state-of-the-art but production-safe.
- Strong Backend & Cloud Expertise. You have 8 years of experience building scalable resilient systems. You are strong in AWS architecture and know how to design for high availability and low latency with cost in mind.
- Polyglot Ecosystem (Java & Python). You are comfortable operating in a hybrid environment: Java for deep integration with the Core Sonar analysis engine and Python for the AI/Agent reasoning layer. You should be strong in one and capable in the other. We make use of various LLM tools and are looking for people not afraid of different languages.
- Systems Thinking. You understand that AI in production is mostly Systems Engineering. You know how to handle asynchronous event-driven architectures manage queues and design sandboxed execution environments to run untrusted code safely.
- AI & LLM Integration. You have practical experience building applications that orchestrate LLMs (OpenAI Anthropic or hosted open models). You understand the backend complexity of RAG context window management and prompt engineering at scale.
- Data-Driven Mindset. You care about the Why. You want to build telemetry pipelines that distinguish between Bad UX and Bad Code focusing on the metrics that matter.
We value diversity equity and inclusion
At Sonar we believe that our diversity is our strength. We are a global company that values and respects different backgrounds perspectives and cultures. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.
