Software Engineer (Expert)

About the role

🧭 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 an expert-level Software Engineer to join us in Paris and play a crucial role in this journey.

🛠️ WHAT YOU’LL DO

You’ll help design, build, and operate systems that solve real vulnerability management problems for engineering and security teams, shaping both our technology and our user experience as we grow.

- Build product end-to-end. Design, implement, and ship features that deliver clear value to customers. You’ll work across the stack, from backend services and data flows to APIs and frontend experiences.

- Ship value fast. Balance thoughtful design with fast iteration. You’ll prototype, learn from real usage, and refine quickly so we can continuously improve the product.

- Take ownership. Own key product and technical decisions from idea to production. You’ll identify what needs to be done, break down complex problems, and drive them to completion. You’ll have space to focus, while collaborating closely with teammates across engineering, product, and design.

- Stay close to customers. Work with our users over Slack and on calls to understand how they use what you’ve built. Turn their feedback into concrete improvements and new features.

- Design robust architectures. Create systems that are clear, reliable, maintainable, and scalable. We care a lot about strong engineering fundamentals: good tests, clean abstractions, fast builds, and solid observability.

- Contribute beyond code. Help shape our technical culture, engineering practices, and product direction. As an early team member, your decisions will have a lasting impact on how we build.

👤 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, ideally with significant time in startup or fast-paced environments.

- Proven ability to build impactful products that address real-world customer needs.
