Software Engineer - Vulnerability Database

At Konvu, we’re on a mission to make security invisible. As we move towards a future dominated by code automatically generated, tested, and deployed by AIs, we need a new paradigm for application security. We need vulnerabilities to be automatically detected, prioritized, and remediated.

Behind Konvu are founders with deep roots in the security industry. As early employees at Sqreen, a notable security startup acquired by Datadog, we have firsthand experience in driving security solutions from concept to global impact.

We have secured $5M in Seed funding and are backed by top European and US venture capital firms, along with executives and former executives from companies such as Datadog, GitHub, Docker, Cloudflare, Sumo Logic, and Vanta.

We’re looking for a Data Engineer to join us in Paris and play a crucial role in this journey.

As a Software Engineer focused on our Vulnerability Research agent, you will play a critical role in enhancing our analysis engine that helps automate triage and remediation. You will:

• Build, develop and optimize our vulnerability database enrichment system, ensuring exploitability conditions are defined for most vulnerabilities

• Leverage agentic AI to analyze CVE descriptions and accurately identify the software components that can trigger exploitation.

• Implement a human-in-the-loop model to ensure high levels of accuracy and maintain control over automated decisions.

• Engage with customers to understand real-world challenges in vulnerability triage and use their feedback to refine our database and insights

• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, security, and product teams to refine data models and drive continuous improvement.

We value people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all qualifications on day one. Even if you don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply if you’re enthusiastic about the role and believe you can make a valuable contribution.

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering or a related field within technology-driven environments.

• Proven expertise in designing and maintaining databases, preferably with experience in security.

• Familiarity with agentic AI approaches

• Excellent problem-solving skills with a keen attention to detail and a proactive mindset.

• Play a key role in shaping the future of the security industry

• Grow with us as we embark on an exciting journey to make security invisible

• Develop your skills in cutting-edge fields like security and AI

• Be a part of an inclusive team that values every voice

• Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits

At Konvu, we deeply value diversity and are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and can thrive. To build a product that’s loved by everyone, we need a team with all kinds of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. This is why we are committed to hiring people from all walks of life.
