Senior Software Engineer (Java) - Remediation Agent

Requirements

• 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.

Additional Information

Who is Sonar? 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. Position description At Sonar, we believe that simply reporting code issues is not sufficient. To truly level up the quality of the world's software, we must empower millions of developers to fix them automatically. With over 400,000 enterprises relying on our products, we hold a unique lever to shape how software is built. Recent breakthroughs in AI have made autonomous remediation a reality, but one major hurdle remains: Trust. Generative AI makes mistakes, and enterprises cannot automate what they do not trust. This is where you come in. As a Senior/Staff Engineer, you will architect the backend for Verified Autonomous Remediation, a sophisticated Agentic workflow that doesn't just generate code, but rigorously tests and validates it using Sonar's analysis engine. You will tackle the hard engineering problems required to close the "Trust Gap." 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.
