The impact you can have
The SonarSource Languages Team is looking for a passionate C++ Static Code Analysis Specialist to work on its advanced C-Family analyzer.

SonarSource’s C-Family code analyzer is designed to fulfill the needs of C and C++ developers: spotting tricky code quality and security issues as fast as possible while generating as little noise as possible. Dereferences of null pointers, memory leaks, dead code and logic flow errors are some examples of those quality issues. The analyzer also helps to enforce coding standards like CPP Core Guidelines and MISRA C++2008. The analyzer is built on top of the Clang front-end and can run inside the IDE as well as on CI systems. The analyzer is compatible with the mainstream C and C++ compilers: Clang, GCC, MSVC, and Arm.

By joining the C-Family, you will be part of an autonomous team without a manager. You will choose what to work on. You will have fun facing the ultimate challenge of analyzing, what is probably the most complex language in the world: C++.

The skills you will demonstrate
Solid theoretical understanding of code static analysis techniques
Prior work experience in the C++ code static analysis industry
Prior research in the code static analysis domain
Strong proven experience in C++ along with its development environment
Solid understanding of the internals of the C++ language and familiarity with its latest standards
Ability to explain theoretical concepts in a simple manner
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
