Sonar is the independent AI code verification platform trusted by 7M+ developers & organizations to help build secure, reliable software with confidence. Backed by General Catalyst and Insight.
About the role
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.
What they're looking for
- A PhD or MS in Computer Science (or equivalent experience)
More about this role
Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code verification and governance, 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.
