Machine Learning Engineer

Why should I Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.

We seek a Machine Learning Engineer who is passionate about exploring new dimensions in GenAI and developing the next-generation agentic framework for AI-powered developer assistants. As a Machine Learning engineer at Sonar, you will develop, implement, and optimize ML workflows to enhance our products and services. You will work closely with software engineers, researchers, and other stakeholders to deliver robust, scalable, and innovative solutions to advance the state-of-the-art agentic workflow for autonomous program improvement. 

On a daily basis you will

• Work with the core research team to advance the state of the art for AI-driven SE
• Design, develop, and deploy models and algorithms to tackle various challenges in automating software engineering tasks
• Analyze and preprocess large datasets to build scalable and efficient ML pipelines.
• Optimize and fine-tune LLMs to improve performance and accuracy.
• Conduct experiments and perform rigorous validation to evaluate model effectiveness.
• Implement and maintain scalable, robust, and efficient production-level code.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in machine learning technologies
• Develop and maintain documentation for AI models and systems.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to the development of best practices in machine learning engineering.
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure seamless model deployment and integration into production systems.

The skills you will demonstrate

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in computer science, information technology, engineering, or related field. 
• Proven experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or a similar role with a strong portfolio of projects, with at least two years of industry experience. 
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or C/C++.
• Solid understanding of machine learning frameworks and libraries, such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, HuggingFace, scikit-learn, etc.
• Strong knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms and services, such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure is an advantage. 
• Experience with deep learning models and natural language processing (NLP).
• Knowledge of MLOps practices and tools.
• Experience with data visualization tools and techniques.
• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.
• Excellent debugging, optimization skills, communication and teamwork skills

Why you will love it here:

• Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.

• We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!

• We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).
