About this role

This full-time Agentic Software Engineer position is based at Sonar's Bochum hub, where the successful candidate will design and build autonomous multi-agent systems to modernize core codebases. This role suits an engineer experienced in Java and platform architecture who wants to work at the cutting edge of AI-driven software development.

Role Overview

Sonar is hiring an Agentic Software Engineer to join the Platform Architecture squad in Bochum. In this role, the engineer will construct the multi-agent systems responsible for autonomously refactoring and modernizing the organization's own codebase. The primary initial objective involves unifying SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube Server onto a single portable architecture using a build-once, deploy-twice approach.

Key Responsibilities

Design and construct agentic refactoring pipelines that safely extract domain logic from existing codebases and re-platform it onto a Unified Core hexagonal architecture with minimal human intervention.
Establish safety guardrails for autonomous refactoring at scale, including verification gates, automated test generation, static analysis, and rollback strategies.
Validate the approach through real-world migrations, such as Micronaut-to-Spring conversions, Lambda-to-container consolidations, API convergence, and strangler-fig domain extractions.
Maintain hands-on involvement in the Java and Spring codebase to review agent outputs, identify architectural errors, and refine the underlying agentic loops.

Requirements

Professional experience working with Java.
Strong background in software architecture and platform development.
Capability to design robust automated verification gates and guardrails for code modification.
