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, Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company count on us to provide independent, explainable, consistent review and governance of their AI-generated code via products like:
SonarQube: The world’s 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 you’re 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.
What you will do:
- Design & Develop: Architect and implement end-to-end AI Agents and full-stack applications that automate complex business processes.
- Foundational Engineering: Build and maintain the core AI tech stack, including agent orchestration frameworks, vector database integrations, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines.
- Cloud Orchestration: Oversee the deployment and management of scalable AI services, selecting and adapting infrastructure to meet stringent requirements for high availability, performance, and efficiency.
- Strategic Transformation: Act as a key contributor to Sonar’s AI transformation, identifying high-impact opportunities for agentic automation across different departments.
- Governance & Ethics: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to establish governance, security protocols, and best practices for AI development and data privacy.
- Full-Stack Ownership: Manage the entire lifecycle of internal tools, from backend logic and LLM prompt engineering to intuitive frontend interfaces for internal users.
Experience and qualifications
- Full-Stack Expertise: Professional experience in full-stack development (e.g., Python, Node.js, React, or similar modern stacks).
- AI Agent Mastery: Proven experience developing and deploying autonomous AI Agents using frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar.
- Automation Roots: A strong background in traditional automation development (e.g., scripting, workflow engines, or RPA) prior to the LLM era, demonstrating a deep understanding of logic-based systems.
- Cloud Proficiency: Hands-on experience architecting and deploying production-grade applications on any major cloud platform (AWS experience is highly recommended).
- Architectural Vision: Deep understanding of the specific architectures required for agentic workflows, including state management, tool-calling, and memory systems.
- Data & AI Skills: Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate), fine-tuning (optional but preferred), and advanced prompt engineering.
- Collaborative Mindset: Ability to work with non-technical stakeholders to define governance and translate business needs into technical requirements.
- Growth Mindset: A passion for staying at the forefront of AI research and a desire to continuously evolve your skill set.

Sonar Insights
What We Do
Sonar provides the essential verification layer for the AI-driven development era, ensuring all code—whether human-written or AI-generated—is code you can trust. Today, AI coding tools are generating explosive volumes of code. This has created an "engineering productivity paradox" : faster code writing doesn't automatically lead to faster, safer software delivery. The new bottleneck is verification. Sonar solves this. Integrating code quality and code security into a single platform (SonarQube), Sonar is the foundation for high performance software engineering, analyzing over 750 billion lines of code daily to ensure applications are secure, reliable, and maintainable. As an independent verification platform, Sonar enables organizations to securely develop at the speed of AI. We are driven by a deep belief in our people, a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering dedication to delivery. We operate as a united group where our collective success is the sum of each individual's contributions. Our company culture is driven by the values of CODE: Committed, Obsessed, Deliberate & Effective. This mindset reflects our culture of creativity, collaboration, and pride in the work we do. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 35 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is used by 7M+ developers worldwide, including ServiceNow, Booking.com, Deutsche Bank, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company. Sonar is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland with additional offices in Austin, Texas; Bochum, Germany; London, Singapore, and Tokyo. The company is rapidly growing with over 800 employees! Join us in our mission to solve the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code!
