The posting

Who is Sonar?

Sonar enables organizations to ship agentic code with confidence. Code creation is abundant, but confidence is scarce. Our core platform, SonarQube, verifies over 750 billion lines of code every day, delivering agentic verification and governance for all code. Trusted by more than 7 million developers and 75% of the Fortune 100, including teams at Nvidia, ServiceNow, Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company, Sonar enables organizations to reduce outages, improve security, and lower the cost and risk of agentic software development.

Founded in Geneva and now headquartered in Austin, Texas, Sonar has a global team working across offices and hubs, including Silicon Valley, London, Bochum, Barcelona, Singapore, Tokyo, and the Washington, D.C. area. At Sonar, we’re enabling enterprises to build agentic software factories that can move quickly while maintaining the control, consistency and evidence required to ship with confidence.

Position description

What you will do

  • Design and build program analysis systems that reason about code at the level of intent, control flow, data flow, and behavior, across languages and at the scale of thousands of repos and large monorepos.
  • Combine static and dynamic analysis with large language models to detect functional bugs, logic errors, and behavioral issues that deterministic tools cannot catch.
  • Build the AI agents and orchestration layers that review pull requests, generate and validate fixes against CI, root-cause CI failures, and automate the full pull request lifecycle from creation to merge.
  • Develop indexing, retrieval, and embedding systems that give models the right context (codebase, conventions, dependencies, and intent) at the right cost and latency.
  • Own the production characteristics of the systems you build: correctness, accuracy, latency, cost, observability, and security in a zero-trust environment.
  • Partner with the SonarQube team to deepen the integration between deterministic static analysis and AI-native validation, building workflows where one informs the other.
  • Engage directly with customers, many of whom run the largest engineering organizations in the world, to understand their workflows and ship what they need.

Experience and qualifications

  • A PhD or MS in Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
  • 2–4 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Solid engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and the ability to reason about correctness and performance.
  • Have practical, hands-on experience with AI and LLM-driven development.
  • Exposure to or strong interest in program analysis fundamentals: static analysis, dynamic analysis, type systems, intermediate representations, control- and data-flow analysis, or symbolic execution.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, comfort working directly with sophisticated engineering customers, and the judgment to make trade-offs across correctness, latency, cost, and developer experience.

Nice to have

  • Experience building developer tools that engineers actually use: compilers, build systems, IDE tooling, linters, refactoring tools, test infrastructure, or large-scale code transformation.
  • Experience in industry research labs (e.g., Microsoft Research, Google Research, Meta AI), at large-scale developer infrastructure teams (Uber, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Stripe, etc.), or as a contributor to widely used open-source compilers, analyzers, or developer tools.

Salary range

In-office culture

We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.

Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.

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. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome all qualified applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

If you need any accommodation, please reach out to us at [email protected].

All offers of employment at Sonar are contingent upon the results of a comprehensive background check and reference verification conducted before the start date.

Applications that are submitted through agencies or third party recruiters will not be considered.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
