Software Engineer - AI Agent (Expert)

🧭 About Konvu At Konvu, we’re on a mission to make security invisible, redefining vulnerability management for the agentic world. As AI begins to generate, test, and deploy code autonomously, legacy security approaches break down. Konvu’s AI agents reason like security engineers: automatically triaging noise, verifying exploitability with evidence, and helping teams focus on what truly matters. Our agents plug directly into existing scanners and workflows, no rip-and-replace, no new dashboards. We deliver evidence-backed decisions where teams already work, cutting false positives and surfacing exploitable issues with confidence. Founded by early members of Sqreen (YC W18, acquired by Datadog), we know what it takes to turn deep technical insight into tools developers and security teams actually use. We’ve raised $5M in Seed funding and are backed by top European and US VCs, as well as leaders from companies like Datadog, GitHub, Docker, Cloudflare, Sumo Logic, and Vanta. We’re looking for a Software Engineer (Expert-level) to join us in Paris and play a crucial role in this journey. 🛠️ What you’ll do You’ll be at the forefront of designing and building products that deliver real-world impact to our customers. Your work will directly shape our technology and user experience, ensuring our solutions address meaningful vulnerability management challenges. Ship value fast. You will think deeply but act decisively—prototyping and iterating quickly help us learn, refine, and deliver value to users. Take ownership. You will drive key product and technical decisions end-to-end, proactively identifying what needs to get done and making it happen. You’ll have space to focus, but collaborate constantly cross-functionnally. Stay close to customers by engaging with them regularly over Slack or on calls to hear how they use what you’ve built, and work with product and design teams to translate this into impactful features. Design and build architectures that exemplify strong engineering principles—clear, reliable, maintainable, and scalable. We prioritize thoughtful design and the practices that make engineering excellent: good tests, fast builds and strong observability. Leverage cutting‑edge agentic systems to accelerate development and embrace the exciting engineering challenges of building a robust agentic vulnerability management product. Contribute to and help shape our product strategy and technical culture. 👤 Who you are Even if you don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply if you’re driven to create real impact. 6+ years of experience as a software or product engineer in startup environments. Proven ability to build impactful products that address real-world customer needs. Experience building products or projects leveraging LLMs and emerging AI tools. Intellectual curiosity, and a genuine drive to build and innovate. Positive attitude toward AI and excitement about its potential to transform security and engineering. Excellent communication in English (our working language). Eagerness to work onsite from our Paris office. 🧪 Our hiring process 30-minute video call with our CEO 1-hour video call with our CTO Take-home exercise Onsite interview with the team: 2 hours total Reference calls 💎 Why Work at Konvu We’re building AI agents that redefine how security and engineering teams work. We’re assembling a world-class team of builders who want to push what’s possible in security and AI.

Whether you’re shipping features or closing customers, you’ll actually see your impact every week. Globally minded from day one: Konvu was built from both sides of the Atlantic, combining European engineering excellence with American ambition. Our goal is simple: build a product loved by security and engineering teams, wherever they are. A culture of sharing and learning: People here don’t just build or sell, they also teach and grow. From technical deep dives and sales playbook reviews to speaking at events like our Konvupéro meetups or industry events, you’ll have space to grow and contribute beyond your core role. Hard, meaningful problems: You’ll work on AI agents that reason about exploitability and risk and run reliably inside complex enterprise environments, and help customers turn that into real-world outcomes. It’s the kind of work that pushes your limits and makes you proud of what you’re building. Strong upside: We offer a competitive salary, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits so you can grow with the company you’re helping build. 💜 Our commitment to diversity At Konvu, we deeply value diversity and are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and can thrive.
